Saudi Arabia is home to more super-rich individuals than any other Middle East country, a report from Wealth-X said Thursday, representing 1,225 people sitting on a cash pile of $227bn.
The wealthiest Arab state slid in ahead of the UAE, whose multimillionaires’ club numbers 775 people with a combined wealth of $116bn, the Singapore-based research and advisory firm said.
There are 4,490 so-called ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals in the Middle East, compared to 62,960 in North America and 54,325 in Europe, the report said.
This ultra-wealthy group represents a combined personal wealth of $705bn, said Wealth-X, which provides private banks with information on super-rich clients and potential customers.

Bahrain, which was badly hit by the upheaval that swept the Arab world earlier this year, was the only Gulf state that failed to rank with the Middle East’s eight richest nations.
Kuwait’s super-rich ranked third in the region with a combined wealth of $122bn while Oman, home to 140 UNHW individuals, ranked eighth with a combined wealth of $18bn.

Private bankers should also track ultra-wealthy Egyptians who are looking to diversify income from domestic markets after the political upheaval this year, according to the report.

“Although the global economy is facing uncertainty, the spending, giving and lifestyle habits of UHNW individuals have not been severely impacted. The UHNW community is somewhat insulated from macro trends in the global economy. Simply put, the world’s wealthy elite are in a class of their own,” said the report.
Wealth-X estimates there are 62,960 UHNW individuals in North America compared to 54,325 in Europe, 42,525 in Asia Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to overtake North America by 2032 and Europe in 2024.
