I wonder what the chart looks like when we correct their Dollar-equivalent worth by some sort of relative value to society. Say one of them single-handedly achieves world peace, reverses climate change, unlocks immortality, that sort of thing: I would argue that they have earned their billions. But from a true 35,000ft perspective, all of those billionaires had a good idea, got lucky, and ran with it.
