Interesting fact of the day. USA isnt just the wealthiest country in the world. it is the wealthiest by a huge margin.

Here are the numbers:

Total household wealth by country:
United States (30.8%)
China (18.6%)
Japan (5.0%)
Germany (3.8%)
United Kingdom (3.5%)
France (3.5%)
India (3.4%)
Canada (2.5%)

That puts the USA well ahead of even China, the second largest.

For comparison USA has 50% more total household wealth than all of Europe combined.

@freemo for what purpose would this metric be useful? Isn't the per capita metric much more meaningful to avoid mixing wealth from population size?
