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

UBS: The Millionaire Class Becomes Mainstream in Society

The report emphasizes a phenomenon: daily millionaires, defined as individuals with investable assets between $1 million and $5 million (,) have increased more than fourfold since 2000, reaching about 52 million worldwide by the end of last year. Currently, this group holds a total wealth of $107 trillion. The growth of this group mainly results from rising real estate prices and exchange rate fluctuations.

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

Asset allocation varies worldwide: the US is known for a high proportion of financial investments, Australia has a larger share of real estate, and Singapore emphasizes insurance and pension assets.
