RichListing is an interactive platform for exploring extreme wealth. We turn the fortunes of billionaires, celebrities, athletes and YouTubers into things you can actually play with, alongside profiles and articles about the people behind the numbers.
The problem we are trying to solve
A billion dollars is not a number most people can picture. It sounds like a bigger version of a million, and it is not. A million seconds is about eleven days. A billion seconds is nearly thirty two years.
Written down, that gap is a fact you nod at and forget. Spent, one purchase at a time, it becomes something you feel. That is the whole idea behind this site.
What you can do here
Spend a billionaire's fortune: Pick someone, then try to empty their balance. Buy private jets, islands, football clubs, supercars and a great deal of pizza. Most people are surprised by how hard it is to finish.
See what they earn while you read: A live counter that shows a fortune growing in real time, and how long it would take you to earn the same amount.
Over fifty individual profiles: Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, MrBeast, Warren Buffett, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo and many more, each with their own spending page, biography and estimated net worth.
Everything is free, needs no account, and installs nothing.
Where our numbers come from
This is the part we take seriously, because net worth figures on the internet are usually presented as facts when they are estimates.
Every net worth figure on RichListing carries its provenance on the page itself:
- The source it came from, linked where possible
- The date we last verified it
- A confidence level, because a public company founder's stake can be calculated, while a private musician's portfolio is an informed guess
We would rather tell you a number is uncertain than pretend it is not. If a figure looks wrong to you, tell us and we will check it.
What this site is not
The simulator is not real: The purchases, prices and totals are hypothetical. They do not reflect what anyone featured actually owns, has bought, or would buy.
This is not financial advice: Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or invest in anything. We are not licensed advisers and we do not pretend to be.
We are not affiliated with anyone featured: Profiles are compiled from publicly available information. Names and images are used for identification and commentary.
Net worth figures are estimates: They change constantly, they differ between sources, and none of them, ours included, should be treated as verified financial data.
Articles
Alongside the games we publish explainers and reporting on wealth, creators and business. How net worth is actually calculated. Why income and net worth are not the same thing. How MrBeast makes his money, and where the estimates of it come from.
Our writing is for people who are curious rather than people who are studying. We try to be accurate without being dry.
Who makes this
RichListing is a small independent team. We research, write and build everything here ourselves, and we use publicly available sources rather than paid data feeds.
We are not a news organisation and we do not claim to be first to a story. What we aim to be is clear, honest about uncertainty, and more interesting than a table of numbers.
What is coming
More profiles, more articles, and a set of more interesting money games and simulators. If there is someone you want added or something you want to see, tell us.
