Notes[edit]

This category is quite similar to Category:Forbes World's Richest People. Shawnc 10:39, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how to do it, but I think "List of billionaires by nationality" should be removed from the L section and put in the short list of links at the top instead. Pointysticks 13:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHY CAN'T I ADD ROSS PEROT?

Currency[edit]

What's with the focus on USD/EU/UKP? Either stick to one currency (I'd say USD as it *is* the most significant worldwide) or the list means nothing much. And USD/EU/UKP aren't that comparable to each other, especially since a UK pound is almost 2 USD. If that is the case, then a currency at around 1/2 USD should also be in there, making the list even more...worthless. Shrumster 06:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

related wealth categories[edit]

Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_31#Category:Millionaires reflects a consensus that having over 1 million dollars would be to cluttered and that it's not notable enough anymore.

The jump to billionaires is a pretty big one though.

Two intermediate terms exist which are worth noting:

"decamillionaire" would be someone with at least 10 million. That MIGHT be worth noting but I'm not 100% sure there. Even if it is now, eventually it might not be due to inflation.

not to be confused with "decimillionaire" which would be someone with only 100k, "deca" is 10x while "deci" is 1/10

"hectomillionaire" would refer to someone with at least 100 million which seems like the best new category to use. WakandaQT (talk) 06:46, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
