The U.S. added 441,078 new millionaires last year, according to the UBS Global Wealth Report 2026 . That works out to more than 1,200 new millionaires every day and is an increase of 1.9% from 2024. The report also found that the world gained nearly 1 million new millionaires during 2025, and that the U.S. accounted for almost half of all newly minted millionaires. There are now more than 57.5 million millionaires worldwide, UBS estimates. Of those, roughly 23.6 million live in the U.S., or more than 40%. Apple Thinks Spatial Computing Is The Future.

Here's how you can earn passive income with just $100. Over half of global personal wealth remains concentrated in the U.S. and China combined, the report also found. While wealth growth was broad-based in 2025, with every market tracked by UBS ending the year with more millionaires than it started with, the U.S. continues to dominate the global wealth landscape. Global personal wealth increased 10.8% in 2025, the fastest pace since 2017. UBS said wealth growth was fueled by strong financial markets and rising non-financial assets. The report added that the share of adults with less than $10,000 in wealth has fallen from nearly 75% in 2000 to just over 41% in 2025, suggesting more people are moving into higher wealth brackets over time.

UBS said trends since 2020 reveal "a growing divergence between average wealth and median outcomes," highlighting how households with significant investments often benefit more from rising markets than those whose wealth is concentrated in a primary residence. Whenever people hear statistics about millionaires, the focus often turns to side hustles, stock picks or finding the next big opportunity. But throughout history, some of the biggest fortunes have come from selling the tools that help others pursue those opportunities. Today, one of the biggest trends is the amount of time people spend on their smartphones. Millions of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency bill, leaving many just one car repair or unexpected medical expense away from financial stress. While there is no simple solution to a challenge affecting more than half the country, companies that create practical ways for people to earn and save money are attracting attention.
