Hey Steemians,
Its been five days since my last post, a bit of a cool down after my blazing start hehe but I am here again and on this post I am going to be looking at some interesting facts about the Forbes list of all billionaires in the world.
According to Forbes there are currently 2043 billionaires in the world.
1st Fact. Average age of current billionaires is 64.
Woooh! I had to take a chill pill when I saw this one, if you are young like me, you probably still got some time to go hehe. Shout out to the 68 people who are under 40 and made it to the list lead by Mark Zuckeberg of facebook, take a bow boss!
2ndFact. Asia has the highest number of Billionaires
This might not come as a surprise to some, but seeing how the United States of America is a world super power, I kind of expected the continent(North America) they belong to lead in this category.I would probably compare this data set to the data set of billionaires 20 years ago so maybe I could prove a significant shift. USA has the highest number of billionaires(565) though,so shout out to them.
PS:Data might be a bit skewed because of my limited knowledge of continents.
For example I put all billionaires in turkey under the european continent, some people might think otherwise but I am a big soccer fan and teams from turkey play in UEFA competitions hehe.
3rd Fact : There are 133 countries in the world without a single billionaire.
According to the US department of states website, there are 204 countries in the world but then there are only 71 countries represented on the Forbes list . Oh this is kind of sad yeah? Every country deserves a billionaire right ? Wrong! Uniform development is probably more important. As I do not want to clog my post with the full list of countries not on the forbes list, I am just going to mention 10 countries not represented on the forbes list . Will start from Africa as I am from Nigeria and just realized some neighboring countries are not on the list (I am not trying to start a war hehe instead I would be rooting for them).
Ghana
Kenya
Armenia(Think Kardashians)
Iran(Oops they got oil )
North Korea
Serbia
Slovenia (FLOTUS)
Zimbabwe(You have to be a billionaire to live here but not a USD billionaire hehe)
Uruguay
Bahrain
This post is just for laughs while stating some facts,please don't get offended. Love everyone.
