  "account": "In Berlin, there is a debate among economists, sociologists, investors, and private bankers about what it means to be wealthy. The definition varies from person to person, with some setting thresholds like 500,000 euros, one million euros, or more, while others consider the percentage of the population that is considered wealthy. Ultimately, wealth is a matter of individual opinion. According to recent data from the German Federal Bank, the overall wealth of Germans is evident. The \"Private Haushalte und ihre Finanzen\" survey, conducted with nearly 4,000 households, aimed to reach particularly wealthy households as well. Based on this foundation, the \"Handelsblatt\" has developed a calculator that allows individuals to determine their wealth according to their personal definition. The calculator provides a concrete comparison: where do you stand in relation to the portion of the population you consider wealthy, based on your current available wealth?",
  "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.",
