The question is under the nails: when will I get one of the rich in Austria? Or am I only in midfield with my possession – or even with the poorer half? The “Kroon” now has official data that puts the assets of the Austrians in detail. The results are great!
The European Central Bank (ECB) has determined how the assets are spread over the population in European countries. This data is now also available for Austria – in an unprecedented depth of detail. The “Kroon” presents the figures: how large is the wealth of the richest ten average and what is it made of? How many do those who belong to the second richest tenth, etc.? How much have the assets increased in recent years? So the question can be answered: “Am I rich?” The most amazing, however, is how much the richest five percent – the absolute elite – all has all net assets in Austria.
