The following list of billionaires is compiled annually by Forbes magazine.^[1] and Sunday Times Rich List.^[2] Forbes excludes heads of state and government, as their wealth is usually tied to their positions. There isn't a unique list of countries by billionaires, for instance the Forbes list does not match the Hurun Report (list).
