The global population of Ultra High Net Worth Individuals declined by 3% in 2015, according to Knight Frank’s Annual Wealth Report 2016.

Between 2014 and 2015, a slump in many global equity and commodity markets led to an actual drop in the number of UHNWIs around the world. Though the strength of the U.S. dollar had quite a lot to do with it, as currency fluctuations contributed to individuals slipping into lower wealth brackets when measured in US.

As explained by Knight Frank, “only two major currencies strengthened against the US dollar in 2015 – the Japanese yen and the Israeli shekel. All other major currencies depreciated, some considerably.”

Never fear, there are still approximately 187,500 ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI) who each boast more than $30 million in net investable assets, excluding their principal residence.This select group of people collectively control $19.3 trillion, giving them each an average net worth of roughly $100 million.
