Supplementary notes
* UHNW stands for ultra-high-net-worth. The source adds the following information: "the wealth segments are as follows - mass affluent: 100,000 to one million U.S. dollars in net worth (does not include primary residence), millionaires: one million to five million U.S. dollars in net worth, UHNW: five million to 25 million U.S. dollars in net worth." Percentage points missing to 100 percent are due to rounding.
