The full distribution
Household wealth in Argentina, on a log scale.
Each bar is a wealth bracket; its height is the share of all households in that bracket. The x-axis is logarithmic, so a small and a large fortune don't look like they live on different planets. Half of Argentina sits below the dashed median line; one in ten sit above the top-decile line.
Below median Above median Top quartile Top decile You
Each bar is a decile of households, 10% each; its height is how tightly that tenth is packed in wealth terms, derived from the published decile thresholds. The top bar covers everyone above the ninth decile.

Three numbers worth the asterisk
What the percentile hides.
The mean vs median gap
The mean is 3.1× the median.
The median household in Argentina holds $4K; the mean is $13K. That gap is the signature of a long right tail: a small number of very wealthy households pulls the average up, which is why the median is the truer middle.
The first rung
The first $3K separates the bottom from the middle.
Below the lower deciles, households are typically renters with limited financial assets. Above this line, a primary residence enters the picture and the asset base compounds. The moment of buying is the single biggest step on the wealth ladder.
The pension blind spot
Your real economic wealth is higher than this.
This measure excludes accrued entitlements from public and most occupational pension schemes, so the real economic wealth of a typical household is meaningfully higher than the figure shown. The wealthier you are, the smaller that adjustment is in proportion.

Frequently asked questions
Per the UBS Global Wealth Databook 2023 (end-2022), only 0.1% of Argentine adults had wealth above USD 1,000,000 — that's the practical "top 1%" line. Just 1.5% had wealth above USD 100,000 (so USD 100,000 puts you near the 99th percentile). Argentina's wealth Gini is 80.0.
The median Argentine adult had a net wealth of USD 4,354 at end-2022 (UBS Databook 2023). The mean was USD 13,323 — about 3× the median. 76.5% of Argentine adults had less than USD 10,000 in net wealth.
Argentina's INDEC does not publish a household wealth survey, and Argentina's high inflation makes ARS-denominated wealth statistics rapidly obsolete. UBS reports per-adult wealth in USD using year-end exchange rates, which is the only consistent way to compare wealth across very high-inflation countries. Many Argentine households also hold their savings directly in USD (cash or offshore accounts) as an inflation hedge.
The UBS Global Wealth Report 2025 (end-2024 data) dropped Argentina from its 56-market country sample, so the most recent published UBS figure is the 2023 Databook (end-2022 reference). Combining Argentina's high inflation, currency controls, and large informal/offshore wealth holdings makes consistent year-by-year wealth measurement very difficult.
Argentina's wealth Gini of 80.0 is high but lower than Brazil (88.4) or South Africa (88.8). Median wealth (USD 4,354) is similar to Brazil (USD 5,702) and much lower than Mexico (USD 18,920). The middle class has been hit particularly hard by repeated currency crises — savings in pesos have been devalued multiple times since 2001, eroding the wealth-building capacity of households without USD reserves.
