Net private real wealth per capita in advanced and emerging economies, purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates and constant 2016 US dollars. (a) Advanced economies, 1850–2016. (b) Emerging economies, 1975–2016.

Notes: Net private wealth includes household wealth and wealth owned by non-profit private sector organizations, which in some cases may be non-negligible. Estimates of household wealth only are available for very few countries, but this does not affect the overall conclusion.
