I just read data from the World Gold Council and I was quite surprised: how many tons of gold are actually in the world. It turns out that by the end of 2024, the gold mined worldwide totaled 216,000 tons. If you include the underground reserves that have already been explored, the figure rises to nearly 348,000 tons. 🟨
The craziest part is visualizing this. Imagine a cube just 21 meters on each side. All the gold in the world could fit inside. To give you an idea, it's roughly the size of an apartment building. It seems impossible that it takes up so little space, right?
And if you divide it among the 8 billion people we are, each person would have about 23 kilos. It sounds like a lot until you think about it in a global context. It made me wonder how much gold is actually circulating and how much remains underground and unexplored.
