Summary
441,078 new U.S. millionaires were added in 2025, lifting the national total above 23.6 million and accounting for nearly half of all new millionaires worldwide.
Strong U.S. equity markets and broad household investment helped drive that surge, according to UBS Global Wealth Report data cited by Visual Capitalist.
43,139 new millionaires in the UK ranked a distant second, followed by France with 34,604 and Spain with 32,707; Japan and India each added about 31,000.
Europe still dominated the top 10 by country count, with six entries, suggesting wealth gains were spread across the region rather than concentrated in one market.
8% growth in Lithuania's millionaire population was the fastest percentage increase, ahead of Turkey's 6.4%, showing Eastern Europe outpaced larger economies on a relative basis.
