  "account": "Berlin, Germany - The question of what constitutes wealth has long been a topic of debate among economists, sociologists, investors, and private bankers. The answer is not universally agreed upon, as it ultimately depends on one's personal definition. To help answer this question, the Handelsblatt newspaper has developed an online calculator. This tool allows individuals to determine their own level of wealth based on their personal definition and compare it to the portion of the population they consider wealthy.\n\nThe calculator was created using data from nearly 4,000 households collected through the \"Private Haushalte und ihre Finanzen\" survey conducted by the Deutsche Bundesbank. This sample included an effort to reach out to particularly wealthy households. By using this information, the calculator provides a concrete comparison between an individual's current available wealth and the percentage of the population that they would consider rich.",
  "summary": "Despite inflation, recent data shows that wealth in Germany has grown. The Handelsblatt calculator shows you where you stand in comparison to the German population.",
