The Three Comma Club

It wasn’t long ago when someone in Silicon Valley coined the term ‘The Three Comma Club’ to describe that small group of individuals whose net worth is one billion dollars or more. According to Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List for 2025, there are around 3 000 dollar billionaires in the world.

The wealth, power and influence wielded by these moneymakers and money spenders is gargantuan. For instance, the top ten richest individuals have a combined net worth exceeding $2 trillion. Billionaires make up approximately 0.000034% of the world’s population. That’s about one in every 3 million people.

This book takes a deep dive into the world of billionaires, blending humour, insight, and a touch of ‘eat the rich’ irreverence to examine the rise and occasional downfall of the mega-mega-rich.
