5 Wealthiest Countries in the World by Assets

2. People’s Republic of China

Total Wealth in 2021: $85 trillion

The disparity of wealth within countries is also reflected in the country rankings. This is evident by the fact, that the People’s Republic of China, the world’s largest economy in purchasing power parity, has three times the wealth as Japan, the third ranking country on our list. China’s total wealth sits at $85 trillion, but due to the fact that it is the most populous country in the world, its wealth per person is quite low, as it sits at $76,639.
