There are 2,604 billionaires in the world, and 55.8% of them are self-made.

That’s according to the Billionaire Census published Thursday by market research firm Wealth-X.

Taken together, self-made billionaires have a total of nearly $5 trillion.

Another 30.9% of billionaires made at least some of their wealth themselves, according to the report, while 13.3% inherited their wealth entirely.

On my way to make my first billi

Lmao

how are you "self-made" when you made your billions on the back of other people

Ktt dudes hate to see when others are successful in their careers

Nah, some hate the system more than whatever succesful rich person you like to nuthug

Does self made simply mean not receiving any outside money

nope which is why this thread is dumb

if you didnt inherit "most of your wealth" as a f***ing billionaire that can still mean you inherited a s*** ton of money lol

And next generation the majority of billionaires will get it from inheritance. Unless they are giving it all away to charity which is highly unlikely. Either way none of that is taxed.

thats what im saying. the definition of self made as "not having inherited most of your wealth" as a billionaire is useless.

a billion is so much f***ing money that you couldve still inherited a s*** ton and would fit the description of not having inherited most of your wealth
