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.
