This Calculator Provides the Answer\n\n<break>\n\nSome people define wealth based on monetary amounts, such as 500,000 euros, 1 million euros, or more. Others wonder what percentage of the population is considered wealthy. Ultimately, economists, sociologists, investors, and private bankers can passionately argue about who is considered rich. In the end, wealth is also a matter of personal definition. Current data from the Deutsche Bundesbank shows how affluent the average German is. A survey called \"Private Haushalte und ihre Finanzen\" questioned nearly 4,000 households, including efforts to reach wealthier households. Based on this information, the Handelsblatt developed a calculator that lets you determine how wealthy you are, according to your own personal definition. The calculator enables a concrete comparison: where do you stand with your current available wealth compared to the portion of the population you consider wealthy?",
  "summary": "Despite inflation, recent data shows that wealth in Germany has grown. The Handelsblatt calculator shows you where you stand compared to the German population.",
