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

In Berlin, the question of wealth often hinges on the amount of money one possesses – perhaps 500,000 euros, a million euros, or even more. Others ponder what percentage of the population is considered wealthy. Economists, sociologists, investors, and financiers passionately debate who deserves the title of wealthy. Ultimately, wealth is a matter of individual definition.

The Deutsche Bundesbank's latest data reveals how affluent the average German is. To gauge your personal wealth, the Handelsblatt has created a calculator that takes into account your individual definition of wealth. Using this tool, you can make a concrete comparison: where do you stand with your current liquid assets in relation to the portion of the population you deem wealthy?
