Good morning to everyone ,I hope you all are doing good . Yesterday the 35th edition of the World's billionaires list was announced by Forbes . So I thought of doing some data analysis on the top 100 richest people .

World's billionaries list
First of all , this is an annual ranking of highest net worth people around the world compiled and published every year ( usually in March ) by Forbes .
First published - March 1987 .
Current edition - 35 .
The top 100 - data analysis
All the data is taken from the official website of Forbes - https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/
There was not direct way to extract the data , we have to pay to get it in spreadsheet format so I decided to use my data extraction skills to pull data from it .
How many are in top 100 ?
Ofcourse 100 people - WRONG. There are 101 people since Robert Pera and Wu Yajun are tied for the 100th spot since they both have $18.3 B as net worth .
Total net worth of top 100 ?
- $4183.1 B
Average net worth of top 100 ?
- $41.41 B
Average age of top 100 richest people ?
- 65.8( rounds to 66)

Check out the last post from @hivebuzz:
I am kind of surprised that the 50-70 range is the richest and fully expected the richest to be the oldest. But it makes sense because they are part of the baby boomers.

I think if we pull the top 1000 ranking , we will see the pattern you are saying .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be interesting but I think I'll pass unless someone else wants that data. The babyboomers are the ones holding the largest amount of wealth I think.

Ah I guess people are more interested about data on Hive than in real life hehe.

Make a list over the top 100 wealrhiesr Hivers :p
Properly more interesting than Fiat for most people :D
Lol that's true.
I just am trying to post some general topics so as to increase traffic from outside to leofinance ( hopefully ).
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ohh, thats a good idea. Continue then :p haha
I was surprised there weren't be more younger billionaires.
I'd be interested in seeing how the stats regarding industry, country and age have changed over the years. But, if you had to do all that by hand I imagine it would be too much work. 😁

The problem is , the Forbes doesn't give ready data . If I need data in CSV format , they charge a lot . With great difficulty I managed to get this data hehe.

I actually find that pretty surprising that fashion and retail is right below tech. I would have guessed it would be energy or something like that. Looks like the Russian Oligarchs need to step up their game!

I thought so too . I am surprised to see gambling and casino too , I mean we know it makes huge amount of money but the network of one individual could be that huge ? I didn't know that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, that is pretty crazy!

93 years old billionaires is really exceptional phenomena. Its really remarkable to see their passion and love for money even at this age.
Would be neat if you would use your vote for others than just yourself :)
It was inadvertently done. Removed the vote, i was not aware of this.
Its just seen as a bad behavior :)
I agree with you . Most of the people I respect ( who are wealthy ) are very hard working and passionate .
