On 4 June, Capgemini Advisory announced the Global Development Report, indicating that last year's millionaires increased 1,85 million people, roughly 8%, to 25.3 million. The total property of this group increased $8.7%, to 98.300 billion. This is the fastest rate of growth in the last five years.

The U.S. continues to be the main motivation to increase the number of millions worldwide. According to the report, the largest economy in the world had a further 770 million new last year, raising the total number of representatives to 8.73 million. The group's assets increased almost 3,000 billion dollars, to 31.300 billion.

Asia also noted strong growth levels, with total assets and multi-millionths increasing by 10.5% and 9.4%. China and Japan were part of the lead group, when additional turns were 436,000 and 154,000 million.

In Europe, the number of millionaires increased 4.5%. This figure in Latin America is 0.3%, while the Middle East is down 1.4%.

Capgemigni states that the global stock market speeds up, especially the stock group related to AI, is the main motivation to pull the wealth of the rich up. Last year, the S&P index of the American stock market increased over 16%. Korean stock market also adjusts 76%. Sales stock draws Taiwan's market (China) up.

The world's millionaires are increasing stock weight in the portfolio. Last year, on average they distributed 25% of the catalog into stocks, rising from 22% of 2024, mainly due to increased stock markets.

Cash weight dropped from 26% to 24%. In contrast, the weight of fixed income property (such as bond) rose from 18% to 20%, while the estate remained at 19%.

The rise in holding stock and reducing in cash shows that the millionaires remain psychologically taking risks. After three consecutive years of market recording double-digit increases, many investors are more afraid to miss the market's rise than to lose.

"The positive variable of the stock market is encouraging the money flow from low risk investments to higher risk group", Gareth Wilson, leader of Capgemini's global banking division.

The number of people in the super-rich group (which went from $30 million to up) also increased 9.4% in 2025, to 250,000. Their total assets added 9.7%. The group currently has only 1% of the world's millionaires, but holds 35% of the total assets.

Wilson argues that one of the causes of super-rich increases of assets is faster than the ability to access high-performance investments. "They can access investments and opportunities that even ordinary millionaires don't have, from business before IPO to private investment markets", Wilson concluded.
