There can be some confusion over terminology. When "wealth" is discussed, it is net worth, i.e. the total owned net financial worth clear of liabilities. As shown in many published lists, a large bank has vast amounts of assets under management, such as loans, but most of these are offset by liabilities (e.g. checking and savings accounts) which enable banks to make these loans. The wealth, consisting of stockholders' capital and retained earnings, is a tiny fraction of this, typically 3% to 4.5%.

gollark: You mean stuff actually happens between those?
gollark: They might arguably be worse, though, as all other rare collectors will go there.
gollark: Muskies appear to be losing their perceived rarity. I saw one sit in the desert. It took about ten-twenty seconds after the egg drop to go.
gollark: Why did everyone just move to alpine/volcano? Weird.
gollark: It's possible that some of this perceived rarity is just a feedback loop of "hmm, people think it's rare, better try and get better offers" and "hmm, people think it's rare, better offer more".
