BREAKING: Global household net worth surged +7.3% YoY, to a record $570 trillion in 2025.
This was primarily driven by equities which accounted for 57% of the increase, while real estate contributed just 15%.
Since 2000, this figure has risen +338%, with an average annual increase of +5.9%.
As a result, global household net worth is now equivalent to ~380% of world GDP.
Real estate accounts for ~50% of the total, followed by equities and investment funds at ~25%, bonds and pensions at 20%, and cash deposits at 20%.
This is somewhat offset by loans, which equal ~15% of the full amount.
Among countries, US household net worth stood at $175 trillion last year, +133% above China's $75 trillion and +661% above Germany's $23 trillion.

Zerah Colburn: Entertaining Calculations
One of the first lightning calculators to capitalize on his talent was Zerah Colburn (1804–1839), an American farmer’s son from Vermont who learned the multiplication tables up to 100 before he could even read or write. By the age of six, young Zerah’s father took him on the road, where his performances generated enough income to send him to school in Paris and London. By age eight, he was internationally famous, performing lightning calculations in England, and was described in the Annual Register as “the most singular phenomenon in the history of the human mind that perhaps ever existed.” No less than Michael Faraday and Samuel Morse admired him.
No matter where he went, Colburn met all challengers with speed and precision. He tells us in his autobiography of one set of problems he was given in New Hampshire in June 1811: “How many days and hours since the Christian Era commenced, 1811 years ago? Answered in twenty seconds: 661,015 days, 15,864,360 hours. How many seconds in eleven years? Answered in four seconds: 346,896,000.”
As is often the case with lightning calculators, interest in Colburn’s amazing skills diminished over time, and by the age of twenty he had returned to America and become a Methodist preacher. He died at the youthful age of thirty-five. In summarizing his skills as a lightning calculator, and the advantage such an ability affords, Colburn reflected, “True, the method requires a much larger number of figures than the common rule, but it will be remembered that pen, ink, and paper cost Zerah very little when engaged in a sum.”

Muhammad Was Caught with Maria the Copt.
Look at the image. Muhammad is in bed with Maria the Copt, his slave. Hafsa suddenly walks in and catches them.
What happened next?
Allah immediately revealed a verse to protect Muhammad.
Reference:
• Sunan An-Nasa’i 3959
• Quran 66:1: “O Prophet, why do you forbid what Allah has made lawful for you…”
In other words, when Muhammad was enjoying his slave woman and conflict arose with his wives, Allah conveniently revealed a verse to defend him.
This is Islam’s justice.
Divine revelation is used to satisfy the personal desires of one man.
When Allah reveals verses to fulfill the personal wishes of the Prophet, it becomes clear that this is not a divine system. It is a religion shaped around the convenience and interests of a human being.
