Israel Ranks 18th Globally in Wealth Index with $312K Average Assets

Israel ranks 18th worldwide in the UBS global wealth index, with the average Israeli holding assets worth approximately $312,000 (933,000 shekels). This marks a slight drop from last year’s 17th place. The country’s median wealth stands at nearly $84,000 (250,000 shekels), improving slightly from 25th to 24th place. Israel leads globally in financial asset wealth, with 82% of its wealth composed of financial assets such as stocks.

The number of dollar millionaires in Israel increased by 4.7% over the past year, totaling 8,803 individuals. Overall, Israel has 195,000 dollar millionaires, representing about 3% of its adult population, significantly lower than the 9% in the United States. Luxembourg tops the global list, where nearly one in six people is a millionaire. Additionally, about 45% of Israel’s population has a net worth exceeding $100,000.

Globally, personal wealth is expected to grow by 10.8% in 2025, a sharp increase compared to 2023 and 2024, driven by rising stock markets and a weaker US dollar relative to local currencies. This trend has notably boosted wealth in Europe and the Middle East. The UBS wealth definition is based on US dollars.

Worldwide, there are 58 million millionaires holding a combined net worth of $250.6 trillion, nearly half of all global wealth. Almost half reside in the Americas. Billionaires number 3,302 globally, with 383 new billionaires added last year. Only 19 individuals hold fortunes exceeding $100 billion, 15 of whom live in the US.
