Israel ranks 18th in global wealth list as 8,800 Israelis become new millionaires

The UBS Global Wealth Report 2025 reveals that Israel ranked 18th in average personal wealth globally, with an average of $312,108 per adult, up from $284,224 in 2024. This growth was driven by strong financial markets and a surge in new millionaires, with over 8,800 Israelis joining the millionaire club in 2025. Despite this, median wealth in Israel dropped to $83,843, indicating increasing inequality, and placed the country at 24th globally. The report highlights that more than 82% of Israeli personal wealth is invested in financial assets, the second-highest rate among 56 surveyed nations. Meanwhile, the Israeli economy faced challenges including war-related costs and rising debt, yet the shekel strengthened against major currencies, and tech exits saw significant growth.
