The Bloomberg Billionaires Index visualizes a daily ranking of the world’s richest people as reported by a team of Bloomberg journalists. The index is a dynamic measure of the top 100 billionaires based on changes in markets, the economy and personal assets. Users can sort the list of billionaires by rank (total net worth) or by changes to their wealth in either dollar amounts or percent change. These changes can be tracked over time, placed geographically on a map or plotted against other variables. Users can also search for a specific individual or filter the list by industry, country of citizenship, gender, age or source of wealth. The profile view for each Bloomberg Billionaire contains a detailed analysis of how that person’s fortune has been tallied, as well as a summarized biography and links to Bloomberg articles and videos related to that individual.
