English term
占总人数 占总財富
English to Chinese
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
These two phrases are shown in a table. I want to keep them precise and concise instead of just saying "percentage to the total wealth". IS there any better options?
The context is like this:
占总人数 is concerning the percentage of Chinese billionaires to the total number of billionaires in the world
占总財富 is concerning the percentage of the total wealth of Chinese billionaires to the total wealth of all the billionaires in the world
This is going to be used on financial news.
Any advice will be welcomed. Thank you!

percent of population, percent of wealth
A full version: percent of wolrd's billionairies/ billionaire population, percent of wolrd's billionaire wealth.
As these are to be used in the table, we shall keep them short, so the shortest version: percent of population, percent of wealth
