I wanna be a billionaire so bad
what’s the billionaire’s monthly monocle
polish budget how much does it cost to
hunt a pterodactyl and how much caviar
is too much caviar none of these answers
and more on today’s installment of watch
mojos top five facts it’s like a bathtub
full of calories in that today we’re
counting down the five most amazing
facts you probably didn’t know about
billionaires I’m really rich I’ll show
you that no simple number five an
overwhelming majority of billionaires
are male we are making billions of
dollars right so and we’re a public
company now second so I can talk about
that sadly this is probably not a
surprise there’s a reason we say damn
the man true there are some notable
female billionaires the richest woman in
the world is Christy Walton of Walmart
whose net worth is 37 billion dollars
however it’s been concluded that roughly
90% of all the billionaires on earth are
male and go even further
65% are white and 60% are over the age
of 60 we’ve got some way less oppressive
facts coming up I promise let the let
the resources flow to those who use them
best number four China needs Butler’s
because Downton Abbey we live by certain
standards and those standards cannot
seem daunting Downton Abbey was sort of
a cultural phenomenon in the West and
apparently China loves the show too
reportedly many people there are
desperate to copy the affluent English
lifestyle depicted on the series as of
2015 China boasts more billionaires than
any other country almost 600 of them as
such there is high demand for fancy
Butler’s to do the butler stuff like
serve their food and dance for them I
guess there are at least two Butler
training schools in China so get over
there and enroll if you look flying in
tuxedo and are good at removing socks
from tycoons do Butler’s do that I want
a decent sort that’s comfortable that’ll
strain on my foot
number three john d rockefeller became
the world’s first billionaire a hundred
years ago now there’s a man who can tell
you what a butler does in 1916 American
industrialist john d rockefeller had
amassed a fortune of a billion dollars
which is roughly equal to thirty billion
dollars today he controlled ninety
percent of America’s oil partly through
unethical business practices counting
for his Lex Luthor sized fortune no one
complained when I brought light into
every home no one complained when I
provided thousands of jobs he was so
rich that when he died his assets
equaled 1.5% of America’s total economic
output he really was the 1% Bill Gates
the wealthiest man alive today would
have to quadruple his fortune to match
that figure it’s way too expensive
number two there are more self-made
billionaires now than ever before as
literally as poor as you can get in
Britain without being homeless at one
point a common assumption about
billionaires is that they come from a
long line of billionaires well that used
to be how it was done but billionaires
today are slowly becoming more self-made
she went from $5,000 in savings at age
29 to age 41 running a company that’s
worth a billion dollars and she owns all
of it it’s estimated that two-thirds of
the seven figure plus Club today are
self-made compared to 43% 20 years ago
this number is projected to rise to 70%
over the next five to ten years and the
average age of the mega-rich is also
changing 46 new billionaires under the
age of 40 were added to Forbes
magazine’s list of billionaires in 2015
a record number I’ve always had a very
positive outlook about what money can do
the world’s youngest billionaire
snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel
is only 25 years old all in all the
world has probably better offered a lot
of newly minted tycoons than trust fund
plutocrats because number one self-made
billionaires are more likely to give
money to charity
this makes sense to me if you came from
relatively nothing you can better
appreciate how money can change
somebody’s life in 2014 researchers
looked at the 127 philanthropists who
had vowed to donate to the given pledge
a charity which encourages billionaires
to donate half of their wealth they
found that self-made billionaires are
more likely to hand over large portions
of their wealth to charity compared to
those who inherit their fortune today
nearly 150 individuals or families have
signed up for the pledge including Bill
and Melinda Gates Elon Musk and Dustin
Moskovitz and Mark Zuckerberg of
Facebook Fame but don’t worry I’m sure
they still have plenty left over to hire
a butler to chew their food for them or
whatever everything you are and
everything you have because I met Butler
so what do you think of these
billionaires it’s – any words do they do
more to help the world or ruin it for
more top hat and monocle top 10s in
monopoly money top fives tell your
Butler to subscribe you to watchmojo.com
