High-net-worth individual

The United States, China, and India lead the worldwide distribution of high-net-worth individuals (billionaires) in 2017.

In the financial services industry, a high-net-worth individual (HNWI) is a person who maintains liquid assets at or above a certain threshold. Typically the criterion is that the person's financial assets (excluding their primary residence) are valued over US$1 million.[1][2] A secondary level, a very-high-net-worth individual (VHNWI), is someone with a net worth of at least US$5 million.[1] The terminal level, an ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI), holds US$30 million in investible assets (adjusted for inflation).[3][4] Individuals with a net worth of over US$1 billion are considered to occupy a special bracket of the UHNWI.[2][5] These thresholds are broadly used in studies of wealth inequality, government regulation, investment suitability requirements, marketing, financing standards, and general corporate strategy.

As of December 2023, it was estimated that there are just over 16 million HNWIs in the world, according to the World's Wealthiest Cities Report 2024 by Henley & Partners. The United States had the highest number of HNWIs (5.5 million) of any country, with California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois domiciling the majority stateside. New York City is the wealthiest and most populous city, with 349,500 HNWIs.[6] UHNWIs constitute only 0.003% of the world's population and hold 13% of the world's total wealth.[7] In 2017, 226,450 people were designated as UHNWI, with their combined total wealth increasing to $27 trillion.[8]
