The Richest People in the World: Data from 1984 to 2025

In this video I explore the timeline of the world's richest individuals from 1984 to 2025, focusing on total net worth. The analysis covers personal wealth, stakes in private companies, stock market investments, real estate, and other financial assets, all calculated in US dollars without adjusting for inflation.
The list is global and specifically excludes members of royal families. This time, I refined the approach by conducting a meta-analysis of various financial sources, including Forbes, Bloomberg, the Hurun Global Rich List, and Euromoney, as well as niche outlets like Institutional Investor and Fortune's archives. The goal was to create a comprehensive and balanced perspective by pulling insights from diverse data points.

I want to explain the logic behind the flags, logos, and faces in this chart. For the most part, I used the most recognizable brand associated with each person's assets. If there wasn't a notable brand, I used the flag of their country. In some cases, you'll see faces - there's no specific logic there, just a personal choice. That's all. Enjoy the video!

Actually yeah there has, late 1800s to early 1900s when steel and railroad tycoons had massive amounts of wealth.

By the sinking of the titanic most of the super wealthy individuals were slowly bleeding money and by the great depression some of them lost it all.

[@HaydenFPlaysVODS]

Actually you idiot it’s because wealth is being constantly made. This isn’t monopoly where there is a set amount of money. That’s the fixed pie fallacy. The top ten percent have been getting richer but so have the bottom 90% slower but they start out with less. And the middle class is shrinking because the upper class is growing.

Ah, the glory of living in a homogenous nation.

[@Bilious303]

@@LetsGo_Brandon the US is an amazing country also. Wealth has nothing to do with it either.

[@4cryptake]

@ Thank you for saying that, but my point is that even though Japan is under pressure to change, there are still generations of people who cannot forget the glory of the past who are clinging to the old ways.

[@4cryptake]

@@LetsGo_Brandon Certainly, being a mono-ethnic nation may be a good thing from the perspective of public safety. But, it also means that there is pressure to conform. In Japan, if you do something different from other people, you will be criticized.

[@sevenstars004]

@@eboarderextreme4000 it'd be better if millions of Americans stopped subjectively voting Republicans and Democrats back into elected positions. Every election, it's "this one isn't like the others, they're going to shake things up and make it better! They're not like the others, you'll see! The other one will make everything worse, I know because I listen to them!" You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. They're not different, they're not better. Especially if one of the two main parties are backing them.

im surprised Steve Job never made the list

[@Manorainjan]

First of all: His name was *Jobs.* Secondly: Secondly, You can not do well being a snob. Thirdly: He was only the "interim CEO" and not the owner.

[@PunkNDisorderlyGamer]

“You cannot do well being a snob” lmfao have you seen the names on this list? Also, being interim CEO or owner wasn’t part of the videos criteria.

[@DataIsBeautifulOfficial]

Steve Jobs didn’t make the list because by the time Apple’s market cap skyrocketed, he owned only a tiny stake in the company. He sold most of his shares in the 80s after being ousted.

[@Manorainjan]

@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial Yes. And then he drowned his capital in the next "avantgardistic" idea and lost it. That's why he had to creep back to Apple and play along as only CEO and not as owner.

[@lukhj]

​@@ricktbdgcyou gonna realise that the people in the list have to work day and night for the rest of their life without a full day off. I pretty much prefer stay in my 9-5 and live my life. At the end of the day we all die, the difference is if you have been enjoying your life or worked during 95% of it.

[@Pid75]

Look up.

[@SilverTonguedDevil]

Important thing to note with these numbers is that they are estimates of what wealth can be calculated. Most of the numbers are based on the amount of stock in a certain company and that stock’s value. The true wealth of an individual is not always a known quantity and the wealthiest of the wealthy aren’t always on that list.
