The figure represents net wealth including the value of your home, savings and contributions to pension schemes. In the past ten years, people's wealth has almost doubled. The study, The Personal Wealth Report Of Britain, conducted by IBM, shows we are richer now than ever before. Despite fears of a property market crash IBM predicts that we are set to become even richer. Our wealth has increased by 11 per cent since 2001 and a predicted rise of six per cent will mean the average person is worth £87,200 next year.
