Check your intuition, I'll check my calculations!

Ten billionaires out of a hundred from the European Union.
Which mining investors will get even richer this year and climb even higher on the Forbes list? Why do you think so?

WHICH COUNTRIES ARE BILLIONAIRES INVESTING IN METALS & MINING IN 2022?

 

Billionaires from 20 countries invested in mining in 2022.
According to Forebs, 2.5 % of billionaires invest in mining. According to my rough calculations, about 10 % of billionaires have ever invested in mining and metallurgy.

Percentage of billionaires investing in mining:
1. Ukraine - 57 %
2. South Africa - 40 %
3. Kazakhstan - 40 %
4. Peru - 33 %
5. Chile - 29 %
6. Greece - 25 %
7. Australia - 17 %
8. Mexico - 13 %
9. Russia - 12.8 %
10. Malaysia - 12 %
11. Czechia - 11 %
12. Spain - 7 %
13. Israel - 3.3 %
14. China - 2.2 %
15. Taiwan - 1.96 %
16. Italy - 1.92 %
17. United Kingdom - 1.8 %
18. Canada - 1.6 %
19. India - 1.4 %
20. United States - 0.3 %

Percentage of billionaires investing in mining = (number of billionaires investing in mining/total number of billionaires)х100, %.

I used Forebs for my calculations.
