UBS Report: The average wealth and median wealth of Taiwanese people are among the top three in Asia

According to the UBS 2025 Global Wealth Report, the average wealth of adults in Taiwan is $312,000, ranking 15th in the world. Higher than Japan (ranked 24th at $205,000) and South Korea (ranked 20th at $251,000), slightly above France's average of $301,000. Taiwan ranks third in Asia, only behind Hong Kong and Singapore.

If the average is difficult to reflect the true situation, then we see the median of assets. The median per capita asset in Taiwan is $115,000, even higher than Singapore's average of $114,000, and is second in Asia only to Hong Kong's average of $222,000. As for South Korea and Japan, which frequently communicate with Taiwan, their median per capita assets are $104,000 and $102,000, respectively. This indicates that Taiwan ranks among the top three economies in these two data indicators.

UBS: The daily millionaire group has become the mainstream of society

The report emphasizes a phenomenon where the daily millionaires, defined as individuals with investable assets between $1 million and $5 million, have increased more than fourfold since 2000, with approximately 52 million people globally by the end of last year. This group currently holds a total wealth of $107 trillion. The growth of this group is mainly driven by rising real estate prices and exchange rate fluctuations.

The report also points out the differences in wealth distribution among generations in the United States: Millennials (born after 1981) are more likely to invest assets in durable goods and real estate, and are more likely to invest in private companies. The Baby Boomer generation (born 1946–1964) holds over $83 trillion in net wealth, far exceeding Generation X (born 1965–1980), the Silent Generation (born before 1945), and Millennials.

Asset allocation varies around the world; the U.S. is known for its high proportion of financial investments, Australia has a larger proportion of real estate, while Singapore stands out with its insurance and pension asset ratios.
