US Tops Global Wealth Growth Amid Rising Offshore Investor Interest

The United States remains the world's leading private wealth hub in 2025, home to over 6 million millionaires and commanding 34% of global liquid wealth. It also hosts 36% of the world's centi-millionaires and 33% of billionaires, with wealth growth outpacing other major economies, including China. Despite this dominance, a growing number of wealthy Americans are seeking alternative residence and citizenship options abroad, accounting for over 30% of investment migration inquiries in 2025, driven by a desire for diversified asset management and risk mitigation. Key wealth hubs such as New York City and the Bay Area continue to concentrate substantial high-net-worth populations. The U.S. stock market's strength and dominance in high-growth tech sectors have been significant contributors to this wealth accumulation. This dynamic illustrates a paradox of the U.S. as both a magnet for global wealth and a source of outbound investment migration.
