Wealthiest 20 countries – wealth rankings, 2015.
New World Wealth ranked countries by total individual wealth.
1) United States - $48,734 billion.
2) China $17,254 billion.
3) Japan $15,230 billion.


Wealthiest 20 - per capita rankings.
The following are the top five countries measured by average wealth per person (otherwise known as per capita wealth). The report says that certain countries, such as India and Indonesia, only make the wealthiest 20 nations list due to their large populations. “On a per capita basis, they are quite poor.”
1) Switzerland
2) Australia
3) United States
4) United Kingdom
5) Sweden
The UK scores higher than Sweden and sits well in front of Germany in this table. The document says that “this is mainly down to the high value of real estate in the UK. Also in Germany, many people do not own their homes and rent instead – this negatively impacts on their total net assets (wealth).”

The title is: General Electronics Technical Discussion
so before they take me out of here, i need to mention something about electronics.

The UK electronic systems industry is worth approximately £80 billion a year and the fifth largest in the world in terms of production.

Aren't you guys building a nuclear submarine? They're pretty expensive.

Re: UK tops out as largest foreign investor in USA at $449B

firstly, we dont sell them.
second, it's not like we have a production line - maybe one every 10years gets built.

Re: UK tops out as largest foreign investor in USA at $449B

Well if real estate is an indicator of wealth, then houses and cars are too as well as nuclear subs.

Re: UK tops out as largest foreign investor in USA at $449B

but the subs are government property paid for by the public - they dont count.
infact most real estate is bank owned.
most people are too stupid to understand that a mortgage does not equal ownership!!

Well, in that case, owning doesn't really mean owning. I pay $300 a year renting my house and 3 1/2 acres of land from the county. If I don't pay the "property tax", or "land tax" I think you guy's call it, They'll take it all. On top of that, they have a personal property tax of about $100 a year on my 7 cars. The system is rigged just like Trump said. We can pay them an exorbitant price for the privilege of renting land or live in an apartment, or flat.
