Americans own about 40% of the total world wealth.

The third line in the ranking of countries with great private capital is taken by the Land of the Rising Sun. Japan has a very high standard of living and one of the lowest infant mortality rate. Being a great economic power, the state is ranked third in the world in terms of nominal GDP and fourth in terms of purchasing power parity.
Great Britain
The United Kingdom is in the fourth place among the nations with an impressive volume of personal capital. The country's service industry is a key sector of the economy and accounts for approximately 75% of GDP. London, Great Britain, is one of the biggest economic and financial hubs.
