How to read these
Treat these as orders of magnitude, not exact counts. There is no global registry of family offices, and the numbers depend heavily on how a family office is defined: Deloitte's modelled estimates put the global count around 8,030 in 2024, while broader definitions used by others report materially higher totals. What is not in dispute is the direction, a sector expanding fast in both number and assets, with the fastest growth in Asia and the Middle East.
Each figure on this page carries its source, its year, and whether it is a survey result, a modelled estimate or a projection, so it can be cited precisely.
