HomeWorldDataNumber of Billionaires in 20 countries according to Hurun and the billionaires per trillion dollars in GDP of 2023 according to World Bank
Canada has more billionaires than Japan, a country of 125m people. TIL
Our country, Japan, is a capitalist country but actually very close to being socialist, with few people at both the bottom and the top.
Would be interesting to see per capita.
*In nominal USD.
I only point that out because you’ll definitely get a difference when adjusting for exchange rates.
Interesting how low the US ranks per trillion $ GDP compared to the total number of billionaires. May speak to income inequality? Someone good with statistics please confirm.
The second graph is very informative. It demonstrates that actually, if you measure inequality as number of billionaires per unit GDP, the most inequal countries are Switzerland, Singapore, India and Thailand. The USA is even less unequal than Italy and the UK.
India leading the wealth inequality index. Yay!!!
Can you link data source please

China is only Communist in how they rule. They’re Capitalist in every other way. No nation can afford to not be Capitalist on some level as you need an economy to provide a living for people and to pay for government resources via taxation.
And now we need cross-reference with their philanthropic efforts 🙂
Israel is in the wrong group in slide one.
China is touting “common prosperity” but billionaire index is a lot like the US.
The funniest misconception a lot of Americans hold is the need for wealthy people to offshore their wealth. They all just have a particular Delaware address.
Accept there’s more than 1600 billionaires in the US
What differentiates Russian oligarchs from other billionaires, like why do we use a different word for them?
Wtf is Israel doing in the European section? Do people really don’t know basic geography?
According to Forbes, China has 406 billionaires.
Israel is not a part of the European Continent
I’m really hungry…. If only I had something to eat…. Or someone….?
This is a prime example of USA-Defaultism. Billionaire in what? Popsicles? (Currency should be added in the actual graph and not the title of the reddit post alone)

The second chart used statistics from [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)#Table) and %5BHuren%5D(https://posts.voronoiapp.com/wealth/-Chinas-Billionaires-Outnumber–Americas-in-2024-1059).
The voronoi treemap was generated on [https://plotdb.com/chart/1017/#](https://plotdb.com/chart/1017/#)
