Comparing share of wealth by region/countries

Instead of income this graph focuses on personal net worth. I found the pie chart at Metrics 2.0, depicting the share of personal wealth by region in 2000.

Regional wealth share

Average wealth amounted to $144,000 per person in the USA in year 2000, and $181,000 in Japan. Lower down among countries with wealth data are India, with per capita assets of $1,100, and Indonesia with $1,400 per capita.

This graph shows the dramatic change in population over the last 500 years in China, India, Africa, Latin America, Western Europe, and United States. (Note: the dip in 1950 of India’s population was due to the partitioning of India creating Pakistan.)
