They all went on to join a very exclusive international club.
Jerry Seinfeld, Tiger Woods, and Miuccia Prada are a few of the approximately 2,800 US-dollar billionaires worldwide.
However, the list of extremely wealthy people is very global.
As per the global wealthiest individuals’ fortunes tracked by Forbes, an American media company, the United States leads the globe with 813 billionaires, followed by China (including Hong Kong) with 473, and India with 200.
Good Bad Billionaire, a podcast from World Service, is back. Every episode examines a different celebrity or CEO, athlete, tech titan, or other group.
Presenters Simon Jack and Zing Tsjeng discuss their perceptions of themselves as good, terrible, or merely extraordinarily wealthy, as well as their riches, power, generosity, and legacy.
It can be difficult to understand the magnitude of these fortunes. One million seconds is equal to 11 days, while a billion is equivalent to 32 years, so you can get an idea of the magnitude of a billion.
Furthermore, some people find it absurd that billionaires even exist.
The aggregate wealth of the eighty-one richest people on the planet—roughly a bus load—is greater than that of the four billion poorest people worldwide.
