Method & notes
The Forbes snapshots show how market cycles, currency moves and business valuations can reshape aggregate wealth quickly.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita plots only years where the reviewed Forbes sources publish a collective-wealth figure. This is therefore a sparse historical series rather than an interpolated annual estimate.
- 2020: US$79 billion.
- 2021: nearly US$90 billion.
- 2024: US$83.4 billion.
- 2026: US$116 billion.
- Do not interpolate missing years as if Forbes published an annual continuous series in this dataset.
