If all the liquid funds in the world were distributed equally to everyone, do you know how much each person would get?



According to the latest data, the global M2 money supply will reach 123.3 trillion USD in 2024. The Earth's population is 8.162 billion. Simple division - each person can get about 15,108 USD.

In other words: you can buy a brand new Dacia Sandero.

What does this number represent? It is equivalent to the living expenses of an average family for two years, or a decent second-hand car.

But this is not the most interesting part. If we scale this calculation down to Spain —

Spain M2 Money Supply: $1.648 trillion
Population of Spain: 49.08 million
Per capita allocation: $33,571 (approximately €30,968)

The amount of money that Spaniards can share is more than double the global average. Why? Because, relatively speaking, the liquidity of currency in Spain is stronger, and capital reserves are more abundant.

There is a key concept to understand: the M2 mentioned here is not the total global wealth (which is $487.9 trillion, including real estate, stocks, and various assets), but rather "money that can be quickly converted into cash" - such as the deposits in your bank account, liquid savings, and short-term time deposits.

The reality is that the distribution of wealth in the world is extremely uneven. This average figure is actually meaningless—some people have only a few dollars in their pockets, while others have tens of billions in their accounts. But this thought experiment reveals a harsh fact: even if all "liquid money" were evenly distributed, humanity still needs to create real wealth through labor, innovation, and investment.

How much can each person in your country get?
