The number of millionaires in the world grew again in 2025. Two major reports link the rise to strong stock markets. Their totals differ, because each firm measures wealth in its own way. This article uses three sources: the Capgemini World Wealth Report 2026, a UBS report covered by CNBC, and a millionaire statistics guide from Empower. Together they show how many millionaires there are, where they live, and how they invest. All money figures are in US dollars. Percentages refer to 2025 unless the text says otherwise. Key Millionaire Statistics Capgemini counts 25.3 million high-net-worth individuals worldwide in 2025.
