Credit Suisse has released its annual Global Wealth Report. Belgium is very well ranked.
Belgians are the richest in the world… And it’s a Swiss bank that says so! Credit Suisse has released its annual Global Wealth Report. With this astonishing figure, which ranks us at the top in terms of median wealth.
To give its prize list, the bank made a simple calculation: it took into account the total wealth of the country, and then with it, it averaged the wealth per capita. But then she calculated the median, per capita, ie the wealth was divided into two equal groups in order to find the median wealth. This means that half of the population has more and the other half has less.
And that’s where we’re leading. Belgian median wealth is $250,000 per inhabitant (if we round up), or €229,0000. Please note that this calculation is a theoretical calculation.
This is the first time that the Belgians have topped this ranking. Behind them, the former first, the Australians, then Hong Kong, New Zealand and Denmark.
The average changes the game
If we calculate the average wealth of the inhabitants, Switzerland comes first in this ranking of the richest. Belgium comes in 11th position.
