Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires rankings track the fortunes of the world’s wealthiest people on a daily basis. The wealth-tracking tool keeps track of each person’s net worth and status as a billionaire, as determined by Forbes. When relevant stock markets are open, the value of individuals’ public holdings is updated every 5 minutes (there will be a 15-minute delay for stock prices). The net worths of people whose fortunes are heavily influenced by private enterprises is updated once a day. When a person owns an interest in a private company that accounts for 20% or more of his or her net worth, the firm’s valuation will be updated based on an industry- or region-specific market index given by our partners.
