The Global Wealth Inequality Database reveals that as of 2023, individuals need a minimum of $698,000 USD to be among the top 1% of Vietnam’s wealthiest, with this elite group holding over 25% of the total population’s wealth.

This threshold is slightly higher than that of Indonesia but significantly lower than Thailand ($923,000 USD) and Malaysia ($1.05 million USD). In Singapore, the benchmark for the top 1% is over $6 million USD—almost ten times the amount required for Vietnam’s elite club.

Net worth refers to the value of all financial and non-financial assets owned, minus any outstanding debts. Assets encompass cash, investments, real estate, vehicles, and anything else of value an individual possesses.

However, these figures might not capture the entire picture, considering that a significant portion of Vietnamese wealth is held in real estate. In developed countries, databases include real estate values at market rates in their statistics because they tax property based on market value. Consequently, when assessing total wealth, statisticians can easily calculate asset values that closely reflect market prices.

In other countries, a surge in housing prices is considered abnormal income, and citizens are taxed accordingly. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, no entity promptly updates information on rising house prices.
