Oct 30, 2018
Total Net Worth of Billionaires of Each EU State

The chart above shows the total net worth of each EU state's billionaires.  Germany is the only state whose billionaires have a total net worth of over $500 billion.

Findings

  • The difference between the state with the highest total net worth, Germany, and the state with the lowest (that has billionaires), Hungary, is $577.6 billion.
  • Germany has 526.09 times the billionaire net worth that Hungary does.
  • The median net worth of billionaires in the 28 states is $11.55 billion and the mean $64.12 billion.
  • The median net worth of billionaires in the 20 states that do have billionaires is $32.80 billion and the mean $89.77 billion.
  • Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, and Slovenia do not have a single billionaire.

Caveats

  • Data is from 2018.

Details

Just like Germany has nearly one-third (31.38%) of all the billionaires in the EU, its billionaires also have nearly one-third (32.23%) of the net worth of the EU's billionaires.  Germany and France also have over half (50.08%) the net worth of the Union's billionaires.

Six states' billionaires have a total net worth of over $100 billion (in descending order): Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.  The Eastern EU is the only region without a state in the top ten; the Czech Republic, the highest ranked Eastern EU state, ranks eleventh.
