“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. 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. Multiple = created ÷ kept. Negative rows are real: those companies have destroyed shareholder wealth since listing. Full formula and every caveat: methodology v1.1.0.
