All the gold? Certainly not. That's just a meme at this point.
For example, Brazilians love to say that the Portuguese stole their gold. Even the highest estimates I could find amount to like 1000 tons of gold which works out to around $135 billion dollars today. Meanwhile, the government robs them of several times that amount every single year: tax revenue is around $815 billion dollars.

The biggest gold mines by far are in the US, Russia, and other former Soviet republics.
