Developments: 2. Reports on global wealth in 2025 indicate significant growth across different sectors and geographies. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, global household net worth rose by a record $40 trillion in 2025, reaching a total of $570 trillion. This growth was largely driven by rising equity prices, particularly in the United States, where AI-linked mega-cap stocks contributed heavily to market-cap growth. In contrast, China’s expansion was characterized by debt, with corporate debt reaching 80% of real assets. Complementing this, the Boston Consulting Group reported that global financial wealth grew by 10.7% in 2025 to reach $333 trillion. This period saw a shift in capital geography as Hong Kong overtook Switzerland as the world’s leading center for cross-border wealth, fueled by capital inflows from mainland China. Additionally, the influence of institutional investors grew, with assets under management by sovereign wealth funds and public pension funds reaching $43 trillion. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: Global financial wealth reaches $333 trillion in 2025 Global financial wealth rose 10.7% to $333 trillion in 2025.
