Total individual wealth refers to the private wealth held by all the individuals in each country, including all property, cash, equities and business interests.
On per capita basis, India was last among the bottom three, as the average wealth per person stood at $3,500 (nearly Rs 23,68,10), while that of Australia, which topped the ranking, stood at $204,000 (nearly Rs 13,802,640).
"As reflected, Australians are the wealthiest individuals in Asia Pacific with $204,000 (nearly Rs 13,802,640) in wealth per person, whilst people in Pakistan are the poorest with $1,600 per person (nearly Rs 10,82,56)," the report added.
