According to this, ten percent owned more than 57 percent of all Austrian private wealth. Only in Switzerland (64 percent) and the Netherlands (63 percent) were the values even higher.

In terms of total private wealth, Austria ranks ninth behind Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Spain with EUR 4.5 trillion, according to the RSF. The front runner is Germany (16.4 trillion euros) ahead of France (12.6 trillion euros) and Great Britain and Italy with ten trillion euros each.https://orf.at/stories/3242638/
