Greece ranks among the countries with a relatively high average wealth per adult, according to UBS’s Global Wealth Report 2026. More specifically, with a mean wealth of $143,343 per adult at the end of 2025, the country ranks 30th in the world. This figure reflects the total value of assets minus liabilities.

UBS: The wide gap between mean and median wealth
The median wealth in Greece stands at $59,162 — less than half the mean net wealth figure. It is worth noting that while Greece theoretically appears as a country with significant wealth per adult, the financial reality for the majority of households tells a somewhat different story.
From 2020 to the end of 2025, the mean wealth per adult in Greece increased by approximately 5%. This rise is not particularly dramatic compared to other economies. Meanwhile, median wealth actually declined over the same period — a clear indication that the overall increase in wealth was not evenly distributed across the population.
How many millionaires are there in Greece?
According to the UBS report, Greece now has approximately 82,000 millionaires. In 2025 alone, 2,762 new millionaires were added — a 3.5% increase. Globally, nearly 1 million new millionaires were created in 2025, with half of them based in the United States. Financial assets — including deposits, stocks, mutual funds, and other investments — account for 36.1% of Greek households’ gross wealth. UBS data also reveals that a significant portion of wealth remains tied up in real estate.
The Gini index
UBS uses the Gini index to measure wealth distribution. For Greece, the index stands at 0.60, a level that indicates a high concentration of wealth. Nevertheless, Greece shows lower inequality compared to countries such as the United States, where the index reaches 0.77.
The overall picture that emerges is one of contrast: on one hand, Greece has a notable level of wealth per adult; on the other, median wealth remains far below the mean, and household wealth is heavily concentrated in real estate. The result is an economy where wealth is far from evenly distributed.
