LIVE DATA • PROXIED

REAL-TIME BILLIONAIRES

The world’s wealthiest individuals, ranked by net worth. Data streams from Forbes via a 15-minute memory-cached proxy so the numbers never break in your browser.

Why a proxy? Forbes blocks direct CORS requests from browsers. This self-hosted endpoint fetches with realistic desktop headers, caches the JSON for 15 minutes in memory, and serves clean records. If Forbes is unreachable, the last good snapshot is returned automatically.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Net worth values are converted from Forbes’ raw “finalWorth” (millions) → clean billions with one decimal place.
Daily change uses the previous estimate (estWorthPrev) vs current finalWorth. Zero when no prior value exists.
Green = daily gain. Red = daily loss. Updates reflect market moves and currency shifts.
Our backend never hits Forbes more than once per 15 minutes regardless of traffic.
