supposed to be the wealthiest nation in the world

Says who?

According to UBS Global Wealth Report 2026, Switzerland ranks first in average wealth per adult, while Luxembourg ranks first when wealth is measured by the median. If you mean total net household wealth, the United States is ranked as the wealthiest country.

total net household wealth

Pardon my ignorance but what does that term mean exactly? What I'm talking about is how much money the average person has among the majority, basically. For which I imagined the median would be a better sample.

I have strong doubts about any metric that ranks the United States as the wealthiest country in today's climate. But I'm okay with being wrong.
