Vermögen: Bin ich schon reich oder nicht? Dieser Rechner liefert Ihnen die Antwort

Berlin – The question of what defines wealth has sparked debate among economists, sociologists, investors, and private bankers. The matter is further complicated by differing opinions on what percentage of the population should be considered wealthy. Ultimately, wealth is a matter of personal definition. Current data from Germany's Federal Bank provides insight into the overall financial situation of Germans.

The "Private Households and their Finances" survey polled nearly 4,000 households, with an effort made to reach wealthier households as well. Based on this information, the Handelsblatt has developed a calculator to help individuals determine their level of wealth based on their personal definition. This tool allows for a concrete comparison between one's current available wealth and the portion of the population that they consider wealthy.
