 Wealth measures the value of all the assets or

worth owned by a person, community, company, or


country. Wealth is determined by taking the
total market value of all physical and intangible
assets owned, then subtracting all debts. 
 The concept of wealth is usually applied only to

scarce economic goods; goods that are abundant


and free for everyone are not regarded as wealth
