The population with $1 million+ in investable assets represents a critical segment for wealth and asset managers, with their investable wealth of $67.3 trillion poised for 45% growth by 2030.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today Altrata, the leader in intelligence on the wealthy and well-connected, released a new study, Investable Assets of the Global Wealthy. Globally, there are an estimated 50.2 million individuals who qualify as ‘millionaires’ by total net worth. Only 16 million of these holds at least $1 million in investable wealth.
This population of 16 million holds a collective stock of $67.3 trillion in investable wealth. That is equivalent to more than half of global annual GDP. This stock of assets is expected to grow to $97.5 trillion by 2030, an increase of 45% from 2025.
Among the numerous findings, Investable Assets of the Global Wealthy reveals:
- 14.1 million individuals globally have investable wealth of between $1million and $5 million with combined investable wealth of $27 trillion.
- 190,500 people have more than $30 million in investable wealth, with a combined stock of $24 trillion in investable assets.
- The US is the leading wealth market and has more than 6.8 million individuals with at least $1 million in investable wealth, holding a collective stock of $26.2 trillion of investable wealth.
- China and Japan rank second and third behind the US in terms of the number of people with at least $1 million in investable wealth.
“Net worth is commonly used to indicate an individual’s overall financial status, yet for wealth and asset managers the level of investable wealth is a far more valuable indicator of an individual’s financial flexibility, risk capacity, and wealth-building potential,” says Eden Willis, Global head of Financial Services at Altrata. “This unique analysis of wealthy individuals across the globe highlights the way some of our clients leverage our data to identify and qualify the customers that will have the greatest impact on their AUM.”
The study goes on to examine the demographics and characteristics of this population. This group is heavily male-dominated, with women accounting for just a 21% share. The average age of those with more than $1 million in investable wealth is 62; this rises to 68 among those with more than $30 million in investable wealth. The vast majority have made their own fortunes (rather than via inheritance).
