If you became an owner of 1KG of gold. How rich does that make you compared to the rest of the world?

This seems easy to figure out via web searches.

Were you a Stack Overflow moderator before?

  While a lot of questions can be figured out by web searches, most can lead to discussion. I just don't see how this one could. The amount of money 1kg of gold is worth is not subjective, nor is where that places you in world wealth.
  
  It's like asking what 2+2 is. Yea, someone can answer for you. Or you can use a calculator and figure it out yourself.

At current gold prices (Canada 11/02/25) that would be $133,537.92.

Where that stacks up against the rest of the world 🤷🏻‍♂️

The current value for a kg of gold is just over 93,000 USD which is comparable to the median wealth of people living in the Republic of Ireland (median wealth of $95,872). It essentially puts you in the top 25 wealthiest nations in the world as far as I can tell

Wait a second, so if anyone found a 1KG of gold he is still pretty average?

I am surprised.
- Average in the context of wealthy industrialized nations, but globally not even close to median. I went with median over average as well because there are far more impoverished people globally than there are wealthy, and on the other end the wealthy are often wealth hoarding at an insane rate. Median values help minimize the impact of extreme outliers
- It just goes to show you how ridiculously wealthy the top couple of percent are.
  
  If you got rid of the top 1% $90,000 in free cash would make you well off.
- Depends on what you mean by average. Existing in a developed country puts you in the top 50% of wealth globally. Owning a home is probably top 25%.

That's a car and a pretty good steak dinner in my neck of the woods. Unsure what that would get you in other areas of the world.
