All of the World’s Wealth in One Visualization

The 15 wealthiest nations combine for 84.3% of global wealth.

Leading the pack is the United States, which holds $106.0 trillion of the world’s wealth — equal to a 29.4% share of the global total. Interestingly, the United States economy makes up 23.9% of the size of the world economy in comparison.

Behind the U.S. is China, the only other country with a double-digit share of global wealth, equal to 17.7% of wealth or $63.8 trillion. As the country continues to build out its middle class, one estimate sees Chinese private wealth increasing by 119.5% over the next decade.

Impressively, the combined wealth of the U.S. and China is more than the next 13 countries in aggregate — and almost equal to half of the global wealth total.

The thread title sound's like a good title for an Album

The way Russia stay running around us in these streets, thought they’d have grown bigger...

I’ve seen one of these for economies as well, and both pics just leave me hoping that one day some nation in Africa reaches a size were their name can fit inside their slice

They counting computer generated money. Africa has more natural resources than the entire world combined. Anybody can print fiat currency and release debt as income.
When the next crash comes it will make the last one look like a ant hill.

105 Trillion and we got debt?!

105 Trillion and we got debt?!

Value doesn't equate to cash

The value of all American assets (buildings, land, companies, etc) is 105 trillion. We don't have 105 trillion in cash to spend.

why so?

That wealth is unbalanced(.1%) so shouldnt be shown convering the entire country like that.
Plus the national debt, plus when hyperinflation catches up, plus when china wants their money back, so more.
You know china and japan are america's international bankers

Major Foreign Holders Of U.S. Public Debt

Other (3.1t)
Switzerland (233.4b)
Luxembourg (263.3b)

Brazil (298.6b)
United Kingdom (334.1b)
China (1.1t)
Japan (1.17t)

Imagine if these countries demanded their money back.
China artificially keeps it's currency value low, what if they brought it up to an acceptable level and inflation caught up with america at the same time and China demands it's money back.
