Richest people in the world by wealth creation instead of ownership

Jeff Bezos asked for a list that ranks people by how much wealth they've created for other people. This is that list — every number traceable to an SEC filing, updated every 15 minutes.

In plain words

This tool ranks the world's wealthiest individuals by the value they've created rather than by current net worth or ownership stakes. It's designed for anyone interested in alternative perspectives on wealth and economic contribution. The project reframes how wealth is measured, focusing on creation metrics instead of traditional ownership-based assessments, offering a different lens on global economic influence.

From the sources

“Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they’ve created for other people.” — Jeff Bezos, Dec 2024 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. 28 founders · $19.44T created for others · updated 06 Sep 2026 23:10 UTC 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…from anti-forbes-list.vercel.app

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  • OpenSEO▲928

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
