A new infographic from All Finance Tax highlights the richest people in the world, along with some interesting patterns.
For instance:
- Eight of the 10 richest billionaires in the world are American
- Two of those 10 are women, and in 2015 there is a record number of female billionaires worldwide
- The tech giants Uber, Airbnb, and Snapchat contribute multiple young billionaires to the list
Most interestingly, the majority of billionaires — think Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Larry Ellison, to start — are self-made, while a minority inherited the whole of their wealth.
