The annual Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management World Wealth Report asked high-net-worth individuals, or HNWIs - people with investable assets of $1 million or more, excluding primary residence, collectibles, consumables, and consumer durables - what percentage of their personal assets is financed by borrowed money or credit.

Latin America had the highest amount of HNWI credit, at 28.6%, followed by the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, at 25.5% and the Middle East and Africa at 25.4%.

On average, 17.8% of HNWIs use credit, across the map. Here are the totals:
