Despite the Russia-Ukraine war, it was estimated that the number of millionaires globally would increase by 40% in the next five years.

The 500 richest people worldwide have lost $1.4 trillion in cumulative fortune over the first half of 2022. CS estimates a 36% increase in private fortune to $169 trillion by 2026.
