This comprehensive dataset encapsulates a detailed snapshot of the wealthiest individuals globally, as listed by Forbes in 2024. Compiled through meticulous web scraping and data aggregation, the dataset includes a wide range of attributes for each billionaire. Fields encompass basic personal information such as name, age, and gender, alongside financial details including net worth and sources of wealth. The dataset further delves into aspects like industry involvement, organizational affiliations, philanthropic endeavors, and educational backgrounds.

Key attributes in this dataset include:

Name: Full legal name of the billionaire. Age: Age of the individual. 2024 Net Worth: Estimated net worth in USD for the year 2024. Industry: Primary industry or sector of operation. Source of Wealth: Origin of the billionaire’s wealth. Title: Professional title or position. Organization: Name of the associated organization. Self-Made: Indicator if the wealth is self-made. Self-Made Score: A quantitative score assessing how self-made their wealth is. Philanthropy Score: A score reflecting the extent of their philanthropic activities. Residence: Main residence of the individual. Citizenship: Legal citizenship. Gender: Gender identity. Marital Status: Current marital status. Children: Number of children. Education: Highest level of education attained.

This dataset is ideal for analysis, offering insights into the distribution of wealth, the influence of education on wealth accumulation, and trends across different industries. It also provides a foundation for exploring the impact of socioeconomic factors on personal wealth. The data were collected and formatted with careful consideration to ensure accuracy, making it a valuable resource for researchers, economists, and anyone interested in the dynamics of wealth and success.

Please note that some data is missing in this dataset, primarily due to the unavailability of information from Forbes. This issue becomes more prevalent beyond the top 400 entries. Many individuals lack a self-made score, a philanthropy score, or specific details regarding their title or organization as per Forbes' listings. I am currently working to update the dataset with this missing information. However, this update process is quite tedious and time-consuming since it is mostly manual. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I work through these details.

The World Top Incomes Database provides statistical information on the shares of top income groups for 30 countries. The construction of this database was possible thanks to the research of over thirty contributing authors.

There has been a marked revival of interest in the study of the distribution of top incomes using tax data. Beginning with the research by Thomas Piketty of the long-run distribution of top incomes in France, a succession of studies has constructed top income share time series over the long-run for more than twenty countries to date. These projects have generated a large volume of data, which are intended as a research resource for further analysis.

In using data from income tax records, these studies use similar sources and methods as the pioneering work by Kuznets for the United States.The findings of recent research are of added interest, since the new data provide estimates covering nearly all of the twentieth century -a length of time series unusual in economics. In contrast to existing international databases, generally restricted to the post-1970 or post-1980 period, the top income data cover a much longer period, which is important because structural changes in income and wealth distributions often span several decades.

The data series is fairly homogenous across countries, annual, long-run, and broken down by income source for several cases. Users should be aware also about their limitations. Firstly, the series measure only top income shares and hence are silent on how inequality evolves elsewhere in the distribution. Secondly, the series are largely concerned with gross incomes before tax. Thirdly, the definition of income and the unit of observation (the individual vs. the family) vary across countries making comparability of levels across countries more difficult. Even within a country, there are breaks in comparability that arise because of changes in tax legislation affecting the definition of income, although most studies try to correct for such changes to create homogenous series. Finally and perhaps most important, the series might be biased because of tax avoidance and tax evasion.

The first theme of the research programme is the assembly and analysis of historical evidence from fiscal records on the long-run development of economic inequality. “Long run” is a relative term, and here it means evidence dating back before the Second World War, and extending where possible back into the nineteenth century. The time span is determined by the sources used, which are based on taxes on incomes, earnings, wealth and estates.

Perspective on current concerns is provided by the past, but also by comparison with other countries. The second theme of the research programme is that of cross-country comparisons. The research is not limited to OECD countries and will draw on evidence globally.

In order to understand the drivers of inequality, it is necessary to consider the sources of economic advantage. The third theme is the analysis of the sources of income, considering separately the roles of earned incomes and property income, and examining the historical and comparative evolution of earned and property income, and their joint distribution.

The fourth theme is the long-run trend in the distribution of wealth and its transmission through inheritance. Here again there are rich fiscal data on the passing of estates at death.

This article introduces an original dataset of formal political participation for over 2,000 individuals included in the Forbes Billionaires List. We find that billionaire politicians are a surprisingly common phenomenon: Over 11% of the world’s billionaires have held or sought political office. Even compared to other elite groups known for producing politicians from their ranks, this is a high rate of political participation. Moreover, billionaires focus their political ambitions on influential positions, have a strong track record of winning elections, and lean to the right ideologically. We also document substantial cross-national variation: A country’s number of billionaire politicians is not simply a product of its total number of billionaires but is instead related to regime type. Indeed, billionaires formally enter the political sphere at a much higher rate in autocracies than in democracies. We conclude by discussing the normative implications of our findings and outlining a new research agenda on billionaire politicians.

Worldwide, income and wealth inequality have increased in many countries. Such inequalities yield various social ills, including the decline of social cohesion, a pattern visible amidst recent crises and global political upheavals. Nevertheless, scholars of social and political disaffection have focused primarily on income inequality in OECD countries. This article’s contribution is to expand that focus by: (1) examining the impact of wealth inequality, which no study has done before; (2) extending the link between inequality and social trust to political trust; and (3) taking a global approach. The authors produce an original dataset, combining a novel wealth-inequality measure with 60 waves of Barometers and Values surveys across 309 country-year units and other relevant indicators. Results show that income inequality undermines social trust, but reveal no significant effect for wealth inequality. The effects of income and wealth inequality on political trust are moderated by democracy levels and country wealth, respectively.

This dataset shows the expenditure on food and drink by country. Information is given on expenditure as a percentage of total income and in dollars. what you can see from the data is areas where upto 50% of total household expenditure is devoted to food. These areas tend to be poorer developing nations in Africa. The developed countries spend less, as a percentage, on food, but obviously much more in terms of actual dollars. The data was sourced from the USDA Economic Research Service (http://www.ers.usda.gov/) and there is an interesting article here (http://www.vox.com/2014/7/6/5874499/map-heres-how-much-every-country-spends-on-food).

Abstract

Financial inclusion is critical in reducing poverty and achieving inclusive economic growth. When people can participate in the financial system, they are better able to start and expand businesses, invest in their children’s education, and absorb financial shocks. Yet prior to 2011, little was known about the extent of financial inclusion and the degree to which such groups as the poor, women, and rural residents were excluded from formal financial systems.

By collecting detailed indicators about how adults around the world manage their day-to-day finances, the Global Findex allows policy makers, researchers, businesses, and development practitioners to track how the use of financial services has changed over time. The database can also be used to identify gaps in access to the formal financial system and design policies to expand financial inclusion.

The target population is the civilian, non-institutionalized population 15 years and above.

Kind of data

Observation data/ratings [obs]

Sampling procedure

The indicators in the 2017 Global Findex database are drawn from survey data covering almost 150,000 people in 144 economies-representing more than 97 percent of the world’s population (see table A.1 of the Global Findex Database 2017 Report for a list of the economies included). The survey was carried out over the 2017 calendar year by Gallup, Inc., as part of its Gallup World Poll, which since 2005 has annually conducted surveys of approximately 1,000 people in each of more than 160 economies and in over 150 languages, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The target population is the entire civilian, noninstitutionalized population age 15 and above. Interview procedure Surveys are conducted face to face in economies where telephone coverage represents less than 80 percent of the population or where this is the customary methodology. In most economies the fieldwork is completed in two to four weeks.

In economies where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units. These units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used.

Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Each eligible household member is listed and the handheld survey device randomly selects the household member to be interviewed. For paper surveys, the Kish grid method is used to select the respondent. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected from among all eligible adults of the interviewer’s gender.

In economies where telephone interviewing is employed, random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In most economies where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or household enumeration method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.

The sample size was 1000.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

The questionnaire was designed by the World Bank, in conjunction with a Technical Advisory Board composed of leading academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of financial inclusion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Gallup Inc. also provided valuable input. The questionnaire was piloted in multiple countries, using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and field testing. The questionnaire is available in more than 140 languages upon request.

Questions on cash on delivery, saving using an informal savings club or person outside the family, domestic remittances, and agricultural payments are only asked in developing economies and few other selected countries. The question on mobile money accounts was only asked in economies that were part of the Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU) database of the GSMA at the time the interviews were being held.

Sampling error estimates

Estimates of standard errors (which account for sampling error) vary by country and indicator. For country-specific margins of error, please refer to the Methodology section and corresponding table in Demirgüç-Kunt, Asli, Leora Klapper, Dorothe Singer, Saniya Ansar, and Jake Hess. 2018.

How to use the dataset

The following guide will help you get started in your journey to gain insights from this data set.

First, specify the fields that you want to focus on. In order to do this, make sure you take into consideration the columns available within this dataset. By doing so, not only are you able to hone in on specific aspects of Airbnb accommodation and reviews (i.e neighborhood groups, room types or even pricing), but also identify themes or common trends among listings which could prove useful when formulating hypotheses.

Once you have identified which fields will be useful for analysis, it is important that they are converted into appropriate data types if they need any sort of conversion at all (i.e converting strings to integers). Moreover, make sure there are no inconsistencies across your features when exploring the entries in those columns; take care of them before any substantial analysis is done.

You are now ready for some exploratory analysis! Start by creating visualizations such as bar graphs or box plots in order to get an overview of particular aspects related to listings (i.e distribution of prices around a neighbourhood group) - these can be very useful indicators! Then try out correlations between different exponential variable datasets such as availability_365 versus minimum_nightsand explore how they fluctuate with changes in pricing over time - examining how these relationships relate over different locations can yield interesting results like unexpected concentration points which demand research! Another field worth exploring would be reviews associated with each listing by digging down into their components like ratings breakdowns under different criteria such as security/price value ratio etc.. All these evaluations should give an excellent outline on what potential customers might look out for while browsing through options online so as entrepreneurs we can hover upon those trends specially mentioning needs fulfilled during our advertisement campains.... Lastly examine publicly available information about each host such as number_of_reviews or calculated_listings count variation over time , with ability provided here we have ample opportunities predicting customer opinion about newly created businesses offering same services...so many things one could dive deep !

Overall , after gaining ample amount insights taking about current market scenario it’s best suggested procuring feedback from active host & using it devise plans bringing mutual mutually beneficial solutions making both hosts & guests happy . This is where creativity play huge role designing perks forming long lasting trust inducing relationship between service providers &

This dataset is about book subjects. It has 4 rows and is filtered where the books is Philanthrocapitalism : how the rich can save the world and why we should let them. It features 10 columns including number of authors, number of books, earliest publication date, and latest publication date.

Patterns of educational attainment vary greatly across countries, and across population groups within countries. In some countries, virtually all children complete basic education whereas in others large groups fall short. The primary purpose of this database, and the associated research program, is to document and analyze these differences using a compilation of a variety of household-based data sets: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS); Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS); Living Standards Measurement Study Surveys (LSMS); as well as country-specific Integrated Household Surveys (IHS) such as Socio-Economic Surveys.

As shown at the website associated with this database, there are dramatic differences in attainment by wealth. When households are ranked according to their wealth status (or more precisely, a proxy based on the assets owned by members of the household) there are striking differences in the attainment patterns of children from the richest 20 percent compared to the poorest 20 percent.

In Mali in 2012 only 34 percent of 15 to 19 year olds in the poorest quintile have completed grade 1 whereas 80 percent of the richest quintile have done so. In many countries, for example Pakistan, Peru and Indonesia, almost all the children from the wealthiest households have completed at least one year of schooling. In some countries, like Mali and Pakistan, wealth gaps are evident from grade 1 on, in other countries, like Peru and Indonesia, wealth gaps emerge later in the school system.

The EdAttain website allows a visual exploration of gaps in attainment and enrollment within and across countries, based on the international database which spans multiple years from over 120 countries and includes indicators disaggregated by wealth, gender and urban/rural location. The database underlying that site can be downloaded from here.

Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used.

Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Each eligible household member is listed and the handheld survey device randomly selects the household member to be interviewed. For paper surveys, the Kish grid method is used to select the respondent. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected from among all eligible adults of the interviewer’s gender.

In economies where telephone interviewing is employed, random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In most economies where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or household enumeration method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.

Research instrument

The questionnaire was designed by the World Bank, in conjunction with a Technical Advisory Board composed of leading academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of financial inclusion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Gallup Inc. also provided valuable input. The questionnaire was piloted in multiple countries, using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and field testing. The questionnaire is available in more than 140 languages upon request.

Questions on cash on delivery, saving using an informal savings club or person outside the family, domestic remittances, and agricultural payments are only asked in developing economies and few other selected countries. The question on mobile money accounts was only asked in economies that were part of the Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU) database of the GSMA at the time the interviews were being held.

Sampling error estimates
