The ratings of the richest people in the world are one of the most discussed topics in society. Who among us does not like to leaf through magazines about the rich and famous at our leisure and admire the simply unrealistic figures of their capital.

But the consistency of the company is a more transparent criterion, since, first of all, it is determined by market indicators.
