This data is barely readable, it totally can not be considered beautiful
Billionaire by which metric?
Are the points on a city scale? I think we’re losing a lot of readability on the American east coast, in China, and in Europe because of this.
And the lines, as they are now, can mostly be used to tell one thing: That most billionaires that move between countries, appear to move between Europe and the US (but not in which direction).
Why is it that most of the hotspots are near coastlines of some country (more like continents as well)?
Most useless graph of 2025??????
Why is Moscow attracting so many billionaires from all around the world?
I’m guessing if a location should be both red and blue, ONLY the blue color is represented?
It actually really surprises me to see so many from Europe I don’t know why
One of those times where Raw data in excel would be more usable than the chart or graph or whatever this monstrosity is, built on top of it
What billionaire is living in the Chagos Islands???
The beautiful if you shared the data
Bejing, New York, London, San Francisco?
A ratio with a color gradient would have been better
Maybe it would be easier to read if the relocation lines were a gradient between red (birthplace) and blue (residence)
As someone who teaches data science on the high school level, this is an example of a weak data visualization.
There are too many lines on it and it also doesn’t really show any kind of pattern (with the exception of that almost all of the billionaires live in the Northern Hemisphere.)
Wow Russia is really unequal
Why are there 3.100 billionaires?
1 billionaire lives in the Dominican Republic that was born in Venezuela. Wonder who that is.
Data is a hot mess of dots and lines that make absolutely no sense to anyone but OP…
Billionaires don’t really live in one place anymore.
Before, when the richest felt they had a real home, they would donate money for good causes in their home town / country. But today, they don’t feel as attached and spend the money on a yacht or something instead.
Basically a lot are moving to fiscal paradises to avoid taxes. And we allow to have one fiscal paradise in the hearth of Europe.
This infographic is awful no offense. I just wanted to be able to know how many billionaires currently reside in X, Y, or Z country and I have no idea how to determine that. I just see bubbles.
Why are there apparently 3,100 billionaires and there are people starving on the same rock and we’re all like oh cool? What the hell is wrong with people
Billionth population density map
Who the duck is the billonarie that decide to move to Venezuela ????
I can see there are many billionaires in France and nearby places, but they have a great socialized medical offering to the commoners. How kind of them.
Nice idea, thanks for sharing
Do billionaires usually live in one location? I would assume most had several houses
What’s going on in northern Syria/SE Turkey? Seems like an absurd amount of billionaires were born in that area and I have no clue why or how that’s so.
So it is basically the IQ worldmap again
It would be interesting to see the direction.
Also hard to tell if any of the blue blobs had born in people that moved elsewhere (ie tech founder from NY area that moved to California).
And I’m surprised that Moscow hosts more billionaires than Dubai.
Who is residing in Siberia
Looks to me like the visualization is a demonstration of the consolidation of power – money moves to money, and the rich get richer.
Also explains why people need to give back to their hometowns, else they benefit from their community then never give back to it as they no longer live and spend their money there.
That blob of blue in Arkansas must be the Sam Walton family.
Antartica, the one place on Earth free of capitalism.
This is almost, if not a completely useless way to present this data.
The EU sure does have a lot of billionaires for being an evil socialist hellscape!
Who are the 2 that moved to chernobyl?
Ugh, asshole rich guy infestation map. Disgusting.
Do you have exact addresses? Asking for my friend Luigi
I just wish the lines had arrows or different colors because I can’t tell who is going where.
Dude in Portugal went from north to south
the South and the Midwest are like the equivalent of Eastern Europe.
Ngl, Mumbai(Bombay) finally breaking through the noise for something actually spectacular. More billionaires than the competition. Can’t hate on that hustle energy 🌟

Thanks for sharing. [The interactive version](https://wesleystubenbord.com/viz/billionaire-migration-map/migration-map.html#:~:text=An%20interactive%20map%20of%20city,Details%20here) lets you filter by country and isolate a single city to see in‑ and out‑flows. It would be also interesting to see how flows are correlated with the tax regime
