Short answer
Where to download a list of billionaires
BillionaireList exports the full billionaires list, or any filtered slice of it, as an Excel XLSX or CSV file. Each of the 3,368 ranked people comes with net worth in US dollars, the date of that estimate, the publisher and a link to the source, plus country, industry, source of wealth, self-made status and age.
Forbes, Bloomberg and Hurun publish their rankings as pages to read. If you need the list in a spreadsheet for a CRM import, a territory plan, a donor pipeline or a chart, copying it by hand takes hours and loses the dates. The export keeps them. Prospecting the very top of the market? The ultra high net worth individuals list shows how many people sit in each net worth tier.

What is in the file
A billionaire spreadsheet you can actually cite
A date on every number
Each row has the as_of date of its estimate and the previous estimate date, so a stale figure never hides inside a fresh-looking file.
Source link per row
Publisher name and the URL of the source sit next to each figure. Compliance and editors can check any number in one click.
Filtered before export
Country, industry, minimum net worth from $1B to $100B+, self-made only. You export the list you need, not 3,000 rows to clean up.
Change since last estimate
change_usd and previous_as_of show who gained or lost and over which window, the column wealth teams use to spot liquidity events.
Licence that fits work
Data and Enterprise plans cover internal and client reports. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, an audit log and invoice billing.

Compare
Ways to get the billionaires list into a spreadsheet
There is no single right answer. A one-off school project and a monthly CRM refresh need different sources, so here is how the usual options compare.
| Option | Freshness | Date and source per figure | Filters before export | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copying from Forbes or Bloomberg pages | Current | No, one date for the page | No | Your time | A handful of names |
| Kaggle or GitHub datasets | Usually one past year | Rarely | You clean it yourself | No charge | Coursework and practice analysis |
| Enterprise wealth intelligence (Wealth-X, WealthEngine) | Current | Varies | Yes, plus millionaires and contact data | Sales-quoted, annual contracts | Large firms prospecting far below $1B |
| BillionaireList export | Rebuilt daily | Yes, every row | Country, industry, net worth, self-made | From $24 a month billed yearly | Billionaire-tier prospecting, research and reporting |
We cover people above $1B only. If you need individuals worth $30M or contact details, an enterprise wealth platform is the better fit. Read our Wealth-X alternative comparison for the details.

Billionaires list download questions
Can I download the Forbes billionaires list?
Forbes publishes its billionaires list as web pages, not as a spreadsheet file you can download. BillionaireList ranks the same people from dated public estimates, Forbes Real-Time figures included, and exports the list to Excel (XLSX) or CSV with the publisher and the source link on every row.
Where can I get a list of billionaires in Excel?
Build the list on BillionaireList with the country, industry and net worth filters, then export it as an XLSX file from the list page. The Pro plan exports up to 2,000 rows a month, enough for the full world ranking of 3,368 people in two exports, and the Data plan exports 25,000 rows.
Is there a billionaires dataset in CSV?
Yes. Every export is available as UTF-8 CSV with one row per person and 14 columns: rank, name, net worth in USD, estimate date, publisher, source URL, country, industry, source of wealth, self-made, age, last change, previous estimate date and profile URL. Free datasets on Kaggle or GitHub are usually one frozen year.
How many billionaires are there in the world?
BillionaireList ranks 3,368 living people whose latest public net worth estimate is above one billion US dollars and dated on or after 1 September 2026. The count changes as new estimates land, so the export always carries the date of each figure.
Can I download a list of billionaires in the United States?
Yes. Pick United States in the country filter and export. The US list currently has 984 ranked people, each with net worth, estimate date, source, industry, source of wealth and age, and you can narrow it by industry or a minimum net worth before you export.
How often is the billionaires list updated?
The ranking is rebuilt every day from the stored estimates and the public record is re-checked every week. Because every row in the file has its own as_of date, you can see how fresh each number is instead of trusting one date for the whole list.
Can I use the downloaded data in client reports?
Yes on the Data and Enterprise plans, for internal and client reports. Reselling or republishing the dataset as a whole is not allowed. Pro exports are for your own work, such as a CRM import or research notes.
How much does a billionaires list download cost?
Pro is $49 a month or $24 a month billed yearly, with 2,000 export rows a month. Data is $199 a month with 25,000 rows, full history and the API. A confirmed account can test one 25-row sample export first.
Know the day a fortune moves
Build a list in seconds, export it with sources, get an email when a new estimate lands. Plans from $24 a month billed yearly.
