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

The question of wealth often hinges on monetary figures such as 500,000 euros, a million euros, or even higher. However, some individuals ponder the percentage of the population that is deemed wealthy. Ultimately, economists, sociologists, investors, and private entrepreneurs can passionately disagree on who qualifies as wealthy.

After all, wealth is a matter of personal definition. Recent data from the German Bundesbank illustrates the overall wealth of Germans. A survey titled "Private Households and Their Finances" polled nearly 4,000 households, including efforts to reach wealthier households. Based on this foundation, the Handelsblatt has developed a calculator that allows individuals to determine their level of wealth—measured against their personal definition.

This tool enables a specific comparison: where do you stand with your current available wealth compared to the portion of the population you consider wealthy?
