The Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a comprehensive ranking of the world’s richest individuals, offering a detailed analysis of their net worth. Each billionaire profile includes a detailed calculation of how their fortune is determined. The index is updated daily after the close of trading in New York and takes into account changes in markets, the economy, and Bloomberg reporting.
The methodology used by Bloomberg News involves valuing stakes in publicly traded companies at their most recent closing price. These valuations are then converted to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates to ensure accuracy and relevance. The team behind the index strives to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information on the world’s wealthiest individuals.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index is constantly evolving to reflect changes in the financial landscape, making it a dynamic measure of personal wealth that is valuable for anyone interested in billionaires and their fortunes. The editing and development of the index are overseen by a team of experienced professionals, including Brian Chappatta, Tom Maloney, Jack Witzig, Pei Yi Mak, and Andrew Heathcote. The design and development of the index are handled by Christopher Cannon, Dean Halford, Brittany Harris, and Julian Burgess, ensuring that the information is presented in a clear and accessible manner.
