Here's where the world's $263 trillion worth of stuff is
Credit Suisse's 2014 Global Wealth Report analyzed the amount and distribution of wealth across the planet. They estimated that the sum total of global wealth in mid-2014 was a massive $263 trillion dollars, more than double the level in 2000.
Most of that wealth is concentrated in the developed countries. North America had a total of 34.7% of the planet's assets in 2014, while Europe held another 32.4%.
Wealth growth between 2000 and 2014, however, was stronger in the developing world. Wealth levels more than doubled in Latin America and Africa, more than tripled in India, and rose an incredible 350% in China.
