Wealth inequality has increased in Greece, with fewer and fewer people benefiting from the growth of total aggregate wealth, according to the 2026 UBS Global Wealth Report. Essentially, even though net worth has been expanding steadily since 2020 – propelling Greece into the ranks of the world’s most dynamic wealth markets – the gap between the rich and the general population continues to grow.
More specifically, the UBS study found that, in Greece, average wealth per adult increased by approximately 9% over the last five years, reaching $143,343 (roughly €125,560) at the end of last year. This places the country 30th among 56 selected markets examined, which collectively represent at least 92% of global wealth. During the same period, however, median wealth – meaning what the average citizen actually has – decreased by about 18%. Ultimately, median wealth per adult shrank to $59,162 by the end of 2025 (approximately €51,820).
Conversely, the number of millionaires in the country rose. Greece now officially claims a total of 82,000 millionaires, according to the UBS data, which accounts for nearly 1% of the adult population and marks a record high for the nation.
In fact, the millionaire population grew by 2,762 individuals between 2024 and 2025. As for billionaires, their aggregate wealth has surged by at least 50% since last year, driven primarily by an increase in their total number.
