The Richest People In The World 1985 - 2023 

One day it would be you.

The most impressive to me is Warren Buffet, he is the only person to stay on the list from beginning to end

The jump of Tesla and consistency of Warren Buffet was impressive 😵

Elon Musk goes from 51B to 195B in just three quarters, then from 315B to 132B in one year. That's one hell of a ride.

Taikichiro Mori, Tokyo Developer was the wealthiest man in the 1980s, as ranked by Forbes Magazine. The son of a rice farmer, he taught Economics until age 55, when he decided to quit his day job, and focus entirely on his side hustle, which was to slowly and with the consent and cooperation of locals, build Toyko into the gleaming modern metropolis it is today. He had seen, twice, the city destroyed by the 1923 Earthquake, and bombed in WW2. He would go on to architected the skyline of the Imperial City, changing small narrow streets where children would play hide, and seek, and spin tops as games, into neighborhood buildings unto themselves filled with apartments, offices, theaters, TV stations, shops and markets. Living modestly, he worked in a traditional kimono, and abstained from drink and tobacco. He is survived by several children, and a wife, when he died at age 88, a year after the Toyko real estate market, and its extraordinary prices, corrected itself.

Warren Buffet be like : Consistency is the key.

Holy shit I didn't realize just how fast Elon went from nowhere to literally the richest man on earth in like a year

What stands out most to me is Buffet's consistency, Musk rocketing up the list at incredible speed, and Louis Vuitton (Bernard Arnault) topping the list. I had no idea high fashion had sales like that. I'm so far from that world I guess.

The amount of money they made during 2020 just shows the transfer of wealth that took place.

Warren Buffett has been always on the list ✅️

I love how there’s all these companies and then two Indian flags, and then Warren Buffet’s face 😂

Love your channel. The idea of animating the data is so interesting.

great videos man. i wish the best and i have a important question how do you find all these datasets? Cause I also want to study Data Science Master Program and i really need new and interesting datasets like these.

The friendly rivalry between Warren Buffett and Bill Gates is absolutely crazy, all those years they stayed on top.

Next rich person = Data Is Beautiful xD Good video!

I held back subbing because you hadn't uploaded in 3 years. But I had to since you updated your channel.

hey, i know it may seem a weird question (Xd) but I need to know how can I create similar video with these visualization of historical data and editing. PS. which tools do I need for editing. Thanks, -Curious Viewer

Elon Musk went from not even being on the list to being the richest one in 100 billion$ in the lead in less than a minute

Stunning. Thank you for all your efforts in making these.🙌

Great timeline video on all the richest people that we are allowed to talk about!

great. Your videos are very good and creative. The way you build the picture and sound is really amazing. I watch your videos every day to learn. I am also building my youtube channel but my knowledge and skills are still low, hope you can help and share tools and ways to find information. Thank you very much. 1000 likes for you!!!

Rob, Jim, Alice, Christy, and Lukas Walton have a combined net worth of roughly 230 Billion. If Sam Walton had just one Son or Daughter, that person would perpetually have been on top for most of this list.

Love your productions! Would like to see updates on the most popular lists currently ended c.2019... Cheers!

Steve Jobs never being on this list is shocking. His net worth was pretty low considering how much of a household name he was.

Fascinating to see the rise and fall of so many big names of people and companies.

Awesome as always. I look forward to every video you post! thank you

I remember when Bernard Arnault used to be the third richest person in Europe, now he is number one in the world

Great video 👍🏾

Most surprising was to me fashion brands louis vitton , Zara, l'oreal commodity ,h&M .. i could never imagine that ...thanx for the knowledge..aankhe kholdi meri❤

There were some companies I was surprised to see show up, especially ALDI, which I consider to be a niche grocery store chain I heard of WAY later than when their leaders ended up on this list.

Incredible ! I'm surprise to see the Albrecht brothers from Aldi so high in the list. Anyway, i love these kind of videos and the music match perfectly.

This was great 👍🏾

Papa Walton passing away while at number 1 and three of his successors immediately entering the list is an underrated moment in this

Warren Buffet managed to stay in the list at all time as himself.

Data I definitely would download and use as a time traveller + stock market.

This is amazing🚀👊

Can you please update auto sales video and repost it ???❤

good stuff. Love the data.

Very nice information Thanks a lot ❤ *Data is Beautiful*

I love how you can see world events happening through certain people suddenly rising in ranks or everyone's wealth declines or someone on the list dies and their wealth gets split between their heirs

Hello how are you? I liked your videos on the Data Is Beautiful channel, I would like to publish your videos on a new channel in Brazil, how do I get your authorization?

Gad Rausing, Swedish industrialist (packaging materials) and accomplished scholar in archeology, avoided scandal, stayed in the top 5 richest in the world for the 80s and 90s, and died at the respectable old age of 78 after siring three kids. Compared to some of the others on this list, he did well, not just financially either. I never heard of him until today, just Googling it.

Please upload more! I love your videos!!

Trends come and go, but value investing is forever. :) Go on Buffett!

Your videos are great! Greetings from Argentina

Sam Walton was so rich, that when he died his heirs were all on the list!

Stunning how long and how often Bill Gates was at the top of that list.

When you upload a video with a title that begins with the word "NEW!" does it just stay that way forever or do you eventually change it by deleting that word?

whitch software did you use please talk to me ?

I was not expecting to see Pablo Escobar and Warren Buffett duking it out in the 80s but here we are

its so strange to see fashion people so highly ranked

lnvesting is considered a bedrock in making generation wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.

very good bro!

Carlos Slim’s company is not Telefonica (and that’s not Telefonica Logo, anyway), it’s Telmex (one of them), America Móvil or grupo Carso (which is the conglomerate that holds most of Slim’s companies).

Richest Men: Bernard Arnault Richest Women: Françoise Meyers French Domination🇫🇷

3 persons is legend here: Warren Buffet (overtime legend) Bill Gates (longest time on top) Elon Musk (holy shit, what the powerfull)

Everyone else: slowly gaining their wealth over decades Elon Musk: hold my beer

Kind of surprised Steve Jobs never made the list 🍎

When you think about billionaires Bill Gates will always come up first in your mind

very informative video

This feedback is not intended as criticism as I enjoy these videos and usually follow the channel. It is a bit confusing, though, that in this particular video some are identified by their country flag and others (presumably all American?) by the name of the company that made them rich. I would have stuck to just one kind of info - either their country of origin only or their respective companies/entities.

It's the first time since 2017 that the Luxury brand owner's wealth exceeds technology company founders.

respect for Warren is the essence of the video

the problem with the wealth of each person is that it is not real money they have on their bank accounts but (in most cases) just speculative numbers based on the value of stakes they hold in their companies. that is why elon musk suddenly reaches 300 billion dollars and right after falls back to 100 billion dollars. that doesn't mean he spent 200 billion dollars. it is just because tesla's stock value dropped.

I never imagined an average guy from my city could become so successful. I'm so proud of "Gautam adani". Fun fact: He lives just 10 km from my home.

Warren buffet is a legend🔥♥️

How we can make such video? Any idea? I am searching for a long time but i cant get it😪

from where can i get data like that please ?

Уоррен Баффет на протяжении всего ролика присутствует в топе. Стабильность - признак мастерства.

Wow, Sam Walton (Walmart) died as the richest man in the world. Once he died, it immediately erased him from the list and it split up between his 3 kids, all dropping to the bottom of the list. That’s crazy.

Wow amazing

What is the name of software that they make these videos with?

Entry of Mukesh Ambani and Elon Musk was amazing 😍

Kind of wild that the 2 richest ever didn't come onto the scene until a few years ago. Buffet to me has always seemed gracious about his wealth, while others flaunt it.

What amazes me the most is Zara and LV being on list. Luxury clothing I never expected

very interesting!

Rothschild with 10 quadrillion: am i a joke to you?

Where's Rothschild ???

Not seeing any Rothschilds on this time lapse.

Such an interesting list. Can almost help predict stcok trades..

...and they all pay less taxes than a typical school teacher

The moment when you are realising that a large percentage of everything that you earned so far goes to these people...

I think the thing about warren buffet he inherently doesn’t do anything but capital allocation and finding the right people to run the business well. Probably the most impressive one out of all them. Dude knows the power of compounding

Nice vedio

The obscene amount of money held by just 100-200 people is beyond shocking. Among them they can start a top 5 GDP country. Like USA, China, UK, France or Germany. Just 200 people and that's all. Most people have no idea how much a billion dollars actually is. Think about the last time you spent 100,000 dollars at one time - Maybe you paid a loan, maybe you bought a house. If you do that every day, continuously for 25 years, then you will have spent one billion dollars. These people have a HUNDRED billion dollars. They can buy new different homes EVERY DAY for 2500 YEARS. Now think about why there is poverty in this world where a billion people don't get food to eat for days.

money doesn't matter, happiness is the only one all we want ❤❤

What about doing most sold car makes and or models

From where do you get this data

This amount of wealth is obscene and disgraceful. I would be ashamed to horde this much wealth. Imagine the transformational change to the world these men united could produce. How many of them even pay taxes.

Good old Bill Gates seems to be up there the most , I didn't realise how quickly Tesla value dropped, as has Jeff Bezos, never would of thought designer label would be top though. I noticed that the list didn't include the sultan of Brunei, he was the richest man in the early 90s as said in the Guinness book of records.

so good

Warren buffett is a G.O.A.Ted business man, he stayed in the list for decades and never even moved out of the list.

Ahora me siento 100% más pobre que antes de ver éste vídeo.

If only I could get a million from one of them, it’s nothing, I’m not asking for a lot 😂

me watching this on a library computer: we'll get there buddy, we'll get there

It's insane how fast some of these guys can acquire billions to shake up the entire list. It's almost unrecognizable every few years.

I didn't know the owner of Walmart was once the richest man in the world! Looks like his sudden disappearance is his death, followed by multiple Walton's who split his net worth.

Nice 🤝🏻 Currently Gautam Adani is at No.3 with $ 128.3 B and Jeff Bezos at No.4 with worth 121.3 B.

Plsss sir do that of Africa..I will really appreciate that please 🙏🙏🥺

Cool to see 3 Swedes on the list through the years! (Tetra Pak, IKEA, H&M) 💪🏻🇸🇪
