A lot wealthier, but that's in significant part because most of the world is very poor relative to most people reading this. Some guy in Sudan isn't gonna be reading your post.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_per_adult
Median global wealth per adult (2023):
North America: $108,918
Europe: $28,611
China: $27,273
World: $8,654
Latin America: $6,341
Asia-Pacific (excluding China and India): $5,176
India: $3,755
Africa: $1,242
I think that you're going to have a hard time getting fine-grained data globally, though, because lots of countries just don't gather data and those that do often don't measure it in the same way. I really wish that the UK had stayed in Eurostat when leaving the EU, because now getting comparable data for the UK and EU isn't doable.
If it's the US (in 2021 dollars), on a per-household basis:

Median Wealth by Household Characteristics: 2021

Also, just for good measure, since I suppose that "gold" would fall into "other asset holdings", you'd be pretty high relative to the norm in that category:
