Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't these men ranked by net worth?
Net worth fluctuates daily with stock prices, currency moves and asset revaluations, so any ranking would be out of date the next morning. The catalog instead lists figures grouped by industry and ordered by date of birth within each group, so a profile remains accurate regardless of market swings.
Are figures like Mohammed bin Salman or Mohammed bin Zayed listed here too?
No. Arab royals such as MBS, MBZ and Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai are documented under the dedicated Arab Royals & Princes category, even though they manage some of the largest fortunes in the world. This page focuses on private-sector wealth holders only.
