According to Forbes, America has seven hundred and thirty-five billionaires worth a combined four point five trillion dollars.
But how many billionaires are there really?
When Forbes publishes their list, they add a small qualifier that almost nobody notices, there are 735 LISTED billionaires in America, because nobody knows how many there are really. Forbes employs more than 50 people in 16 countries to compile their list. According to their methodology article they use public financial records, interviews with employees, rivals, attorneys and they attempt to validate the numbers by contacting the billionaires directly. Some co-operate and give Forbes access to their personal finances so they can report a more accurate number, but magazine admits that most don’t.
Much of the list is an estimated guess, but there are also a lot of billionaires out there that will never show up on the list even though they should.
One group are the crony government leaders using their countries central bank as their own personal credit card, but I think there is another group that is even more interesting than that. Forbes and Bloomberg who both get a lot of online attention from their billionaires list have behind closed doors admitted that they have no way of keeping track of the most common type of billionaire in America.
In an interview with the New York Times, Kerry Dolan the editor who overseas the Forbes team responsible for the annual list gave the profile of a billionaire that they would never be able to find. She told the times that “it’s someone who quietly sold a stake in a business for, say, $250 million in the ’90s, then invested it well.”…
That’s it, that’s all there is to it. Two hundred and fifty million dollars is a big exit especially back in the nineties, but it wouldn’t have made the news unless it was a well-known household brand. Most good businesses of this size are boring and only sell their products to other businesses. As a former investment banker who has worked on a lot of these deals personally, I can tell you that two hundred and fifty million dollar exits happen every day and sometimes it’s not even the founders who are walking away with all of the money.
Silent early investors in a private company would only show up on the paperwork in the part that tells the acquirer where to send the money. If a person took their earnings from a sale in nineteen ninety-nine at the height of the dot com bubble and put it all into the market and then spent a meagre one point two million dollars a year ($1,200,000) or one hundred thousand dollars a month on themselves, they would now be worth three point three billion dollar’s ($3,300,000,000) and nobody would know unless they wanted them to.
There are flashy individuals that want to show off their wealth and there are billionaires that couldn’t avoid attention because the companies they founded are too well known but most billionaires are invisible to everybody but their close family, their accountant and the IRS. There are three very important reasons why these billionaires do this and two fascinating strategies they use to make sure they stay under the radar.
The first reason that most billionaires try very hard to stay off the Forbes list is because of the problems that come with public notoriety. Lottery winners are routinely harassed by people begging for money, filing frivolous lawsuits and family members pitching them a business idea over thanksgiving dinner. The average lottery winner is seven times more likely to declare bankruptcy than the average American and the public attention they get is a big reason why.
Not only is getting chased for your money annoying and costly it can be dangerous.
Known wealthy people are the logical target of kidnappings, burglaries and blackmail. High profile business leaders and celebrities employ personal security but it’s difficult for these teams to always cover all family members. Personal security is also expensive and inconvenient because they need to travel, work and live with you to remain effective. A nice relaxing life enjoying your riches can quickly turn into another job of managing a security team.
The best defence is stealth, if nobody knows who you are or what you have in your Schwab account then all of these problems can be avoided, and that’s just the first reason.

    Those numbers are the ones in the west and know ones. Iraq alone has thousands of billionaires called government officials that stole 3 to 4 Trillions since 2003. 200B to 300B a year. Not couting investment on those. Also you have billionaires in China CCP and Russia. There is also Trillionair families. Also u have Sauid royal and other kings. I think there is around 10,000 billionaires on the planet. Vast majority are criminals. Even the ones that we know about did some stuff some of them.

    Most rich people don't want you to know they are rich. My wife is a millionaire. She comes from old money. REALLY old money. "Mayflower" levels of old money. Her mother manages a portfolio in the tens of millions of dollars and has investments and trusts set up for her three children. You'd never guess this from how my wife grew up or lived now. Her life has always been comfortable but modest. Her parents sent their children to private school, but they lived in a modest house and drove simple cars. Even now, my wife and I live in a modest house and own an older Prius and a newer Prius. People are always surprised to learn about her finances. So was I, as she never told me a word about how wealthy her family was for the seven years that we dated. I didn't learn about her wealth until we filed our first tax return together. I thought there was an "off by zero" error on her itemizations; more accurately, I thought there was an "off by SEVERAL zeroes" error. We keep everything carefully invested and stay quiet about our money, as it's all locked away in trusts, retirement accounts, and mutual funds. In a few years we will retire and use that money to travel the world together.

    Several years ago my father sold around 250 acres of land to a gentleman that owned a private independent oil company here in Texas. We knew he was fairly well off. But a year or so after the fact, he sold out his interest in the company and it became public knowledge. He was worth 4.3 billion dollars. I believe it was published in forbes or texas monthly, I can't recall. No one would have ever known. He was looking for hunting properties for when he retired. I won't mention the name here but he was a nice guy. He only came with his wife and a couple of other of his employees when he looked around the place. I remember my father saying he would have asked more for the place if he knew at the time, lol.

    I like this channel because it reminds me of a different life I had in investment banking. I started at red Bank then moved to a boutique investment firm for high net worth individuals. I'll never forget it because this scraggly college kid comes into my office off a favor of someone at the boutique. He inherited some sum of money from a grandparent and needed help. I figured he was there as a favor from the owner. Nope. His grandparent had legitimate equity in a major business you likely hear about weekly. Sold out of it in the 80s and invested it into a number larger than I felt comfortable managing on my own. So I got a few senior partners involved, and it was still a struggle. We never had any billionaires but I can say from working at a boutique firm like that you'd be alarmed at the capital flowing in a small community and how well its hidden from the publics eye. People who want you to see they have money will let you know. Otherwise it's hidden.

It's a totally separate city from any others in michigan, it doesn't function as a suburb. The city was designed by the same city planners as DC. It really doesn't make sense why there's OLD european dynastic money hiding here. We have a UBS (Swiss Trust Fund bank, so probably literal european nobility). Tis weird for a small midwestern college town. There are over a dozen families here with over a billion dollars that I know the names of, some live on GIANT plots of land outside of town, most live in large homes, but not something only a billionaire could afford. Michigan is a really weird state. It has money like the coasts, with the auto industry, some banks, security, natural resource companies (salt, sand, water lumber, iron, farming, ranching), etc. Ohio has a lot of money that you wouldn't expect, too. I think their money is generally older (rail road baron era).

    That too, there’s famous and then there’s Musk-Zuck-Bezos famous. Tech and media companies have to sell a vision, so their image is far more tied to their CEO individually (especially if they’re also a founder) than is the case with other more established companies. For example: Indra Nooyi spent 18 years as one of PepsiCo’s top executives (CFO, CEO, President, and/or Chair). She was making $15-20M a year including stock-based compensation, so she’s easily worth hundreds of millions if not a billion. Forbes would know about her for sure - Pepsi is a household name and the 40th biggest company in the world by market capitalization - but the average person wouldn’t recognize her.

I don’t want to worry that a new friend is coming after my money. I don’t want my family turning in Gollum, freaking out for money. You absolutely called the correct way to do this: invest it well and spend $100,000 a month. That’s an insane amount of money, more than enough for travel and fun, and NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW. The urge to flex on people might give you a brief dopamine boost, but the long term effects aren’t worth it.

    Compounding interest is by far the most important aspect of building wealth. Therefor whoever made their big nut the longest ago and then managed to remain financially responsible would be by far the wealthiest person. So say if you make it big shorting Napoleon and then strictly control your family, prevent dilution of your bloodline, and divest your fortune globally for 200 years.

    interestingly enough, Isabel dos Santos, the former president of Angola’s daughter, brought and financed Forbes in Angola. They estimated her net worth and she was the richest woman of africa, 3.4B (from corrupt money). That title and attention brought up investigations about the source of her wealth, she’s now wanted / being investigated in Portugal, Angola and I think England. A lot of members of her father’s party were also known for corruption and inappropriate use of public funds. But they were smart enough not to declare them publicly. I’m sure that there are many other billionaires in Angola or other African countries that choose to live in the shadows to avoid public knowledge and investigations.
