“Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they’ve created for other people.” — Jeff Bezos, Dec 2024

The Anti‑Forbes List

Ranked by what they built for everyone else.

Each figure is the shareholder wealth a founder’s company created, now held by index funds, pensions, employees and co-founders, minus what the founder kept. It’s not a claim that one person built the company alone.

For others = company wealth creation beyond T-bill returns (Bessembinder baseline + live market delta), attributed by founding stake, minus the founder’s current net worth. Kept of total = the share of what they created that they kept for themselves; lower means more went to others (— where undefined: the company destroyed value, or created less than the founder kept). Negative rows are real: those companies have destroyed shareholder wealth since listing. Figures are nominal dollars and only cover public companies since their IPO. Full formula and every caveat: methodology v1.2.0.
