Assets: Am I already rich or not? This calculator provides you with the answer

In Berlin, opinions differ on what constitutes wealth. Some people define riches based on specific monetary amounts like 500,000 euros, a million euros, or even more. Others ponder which percentages of the population qualify as wealthy. Ultimately, renowned economists, sociologists, investors, and financial experts can passionately debate who fits the description of being rich.

The truth is that wealth is also a matter of personal definition. Current data from the German Federal Bank reveals the overall level of wealth among Germans. To address this question, the Handelsblatt has created a calculator that lets individuals determine their wealth, based on how they personally define it. This tool allows for a specific comparison: where do you stand in terms of your current liquid assets compared to the portion of the population you consider wealthy?
