Let’s define wealth not in terms of numbers but lifestyles. It has been seriously argued that the average middle-class person of today, of whom there are about a billion on Earth and rising, has a better quality of life than a ruler in the middle ages.
The healthcare, the food choices, the entertainment options, the travel and tourism opportunities, all far surpass those of royalty of old, to name just a few examples.
Resources are a poor proxy for wealth. When first discovered, oil was considered a nasty form of sludge; pollution.
