The Knight Frank Wealth Report is published annually in early March. The Wealth Sizing Model uses HM Revenue and Customs UHNW data plus Capgemini, BOAT International, and proprietary research to size the global UHNW population (USD 30m+ wealth). The 2026 edition (20th anniversary) places the population at 713,626, up 162,191 over five years, with 41 percent of new UHNWIs created in the United States. The yacht spread (sourced from BOAT International) records USD 8.5 billion 2025 transactions, 70 percent year-on-year rise.
