Why do certain countries (the US, European Countries, Japan) control so much more of the world's wealth?

I was thinking about this, because I had recently seen [this](_URL_0_) infographic. I wonder what social and economic factors contribute to this situation.
A combination of geography, demography, and political institutions have allowed the United States to amass a larger amount of wealth compared to other countries [1]. The United States is a natural economic hub and has more economic arteries like navigable waterways and ports than any other country in the world [1]. In addition, the US has a large, young, and highly educated workforce [2]. America's sense of being a special country and evidence of its economic freedom, optimism, business savvy, and work ethic has allowed it to amass more wealth than other countries [4].
There are many reasons why some countries control more of the world's wealth. One factor is that the United States, European Countries, and Japan are all heavily influenced by demography. [3] The United States is notable for being a country with a large, young, and highly educated workforce. [3] Japan is also known for being an advanced country with a large and growing economy. [1] Countries with larger, more educated workforces are generally able to produce more wealth. [2] Additionally, the United States gains an economic advantage from being a superpower. [4] Countries are more likely to invest in the US because the US dollar is the reserve currency of the world. [4] Young, smart people from around the world immigrate to the US, making the US workforce constantly rejuvenated and more productive. [4]
