All of the World’s Gold, in One Visual

Today, gold prices sit roughly 40% above their previous inflation-adjusted peak seen in 1980.

Despite tumbling 54% from the October 20th high of $4,380, gold remains at historically elevated levels, as investors rely on the metal as a reliable store of value. In total, the world’s above-ground gold stock would fit into a cube approximately 22.3 meters tall (73 feet).

This graphic shows the global supply of gold as of year-end 2024, based on data from the World Gold Council.
