About This Dataset
Countries by Number of Billionaires 2025
The United States and China account for more than half the world's billionaires between them. India's total is the fastest-rising on the list, having more than doubled over the past decade. Counts like these move with equity markets and currency swings as much as with any underlying change in wealth, so year-on-year shifts are best read as trends rather than precise tallies.
