how much money is there in the world

As of 2025, the total amount of money in the world, measured by the broadest definition of money supply (M3), is estimated to be around 150 trillion U.S. dollars. This total includes physical cash, checking accounts, savings accounts, large deposits, and institutional funds. Another broad measure of liquid assets (M2) stands at about 123 trillion U.S. dollars globally. If considering all financial and non-financial assets, including things like stocks and real estate, some estimates place the total value at around 583 trillion U.S. dollars. However, focusing strictly on money supply, which reflects liquid or near-liquid funds circulating in the economy, the figure is closer to the 123-150 trillion range. The global money supply figures fluctuate depending on the exact definition used (M0, M1, M2, M3), where M0 is physical cash and M3 is the broadest measure including large deposits and institutional funds. The global population is around 8.1 billion people in 2025, making the average money per person about $15,000 to $18,500 on a liquid money basis, though wealth distribution is highly uneven across the world.
