== Launch and background ==
Bloomberg Billionaires Index is a daily ranking of the world's billionaires published by [[Bloomberg News]] since March 2012. It tracks the 500 wealthiest people in the world.<ref name=":0" /> The ranking was designed to provide a more transparent and accountable presentation of the world's biggest personal fortunes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://qz.com/58960/forbes-and-bloomberg-share-a-fascination-with-billionaires-but-dont-agree-on-much-beyond-that/|title=Forbes and Bloomberg share a fascination with billionaires, but don't agree on much beyond that|last=Guilford|first=Gwynn|work=Quartz|access-date=August 8, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> At first, the index only tracked the 20 richest people in the world, and then expanded to 100, 200, 400 and later 500 in October 2016.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|url=https://bloombergmediaforum.tumblr.com/post/157860660079/bloomberg-billionaires-index-expands-to-500|title=Bloomberg Billionaires Index expands to 500|access-date=August 8, 2017}}</ref>

At its launch in 2012, Mexican telecommunications tycoon [[Carlos Slim]] was in the top spot, with an estimated $65.8 billion net worth.<ref name=":0" /> Beginning in May 2013, [[Microsoft]] co-founder [[Bill Gates]] was the world's top billionaire. [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] CEO [[Jeff Bezos]] and Spanish fashion retailer [[Amancio Ortega]] both saw a large increase in their respective net worths during 2016 and 2017 and challenged Gates for the number one spot. Bezos eventually surpassed him in 2018 and by 2021 was surpassed furthermore by Elon Musk, who was considered the richest person on Earth until mid-December 2022 when Tesla's share price fell and Bernard Arnault became the wealthiest person in the world. On May 31, 2023, Elon Musk once again became the wealthiest man on Earth as Tesla's share price rose, while the share price of LVMH, which influenced Bernard Arnault's wealth, fell due to a decline in LVMH's sales.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-31/elon-musk-again-world-s-richest-person-as-arnault-s-lvmh-sinks |title=Elon Musk Again World's Richest Person as Arnault's LVMH Sinks |work=[[Bloomberg News|Bloomberg]]|access-date=June 3, 2022}}</ref>

While reporting on hidden billionaires, the index provides coverage of and attempts to put in perspective the wealth of the world's richest people, such as the former Queen [[Elizabeth II]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/18/how-wealthy-is-the-queen-not-as-rich-as-you-think/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/18/how-wealthy-is-the-queen-not-as-rich-as-you-think/ |archive-date=January 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=How wealthy is the Queen?

== Methodology ==
The index offers a dynamic look at the wealth controlled by the world's richest people while trying to offer a new perspective on how the media views and tracks the movement of that wealth.<ref name=":0" /> The index "is built to change daily depending on stock fluctuations and economic/company news."<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-has-a-new-billionaire-rankings-list-that-should-kill-every-other-billionaire-rankings-lists-out-there-2012-3|title=Bloomberg Has A New Billionaire Rankings List That Should Kill Every Other Billionaire Rankings Lists Out There|work=Business Insider|access-date=August 11, 2017|language=en}}</ref>

To calculate individuals' wealth, the index relies on a mixture of public and private data, tracking stock prices and publicly disclosed holdings as well as calculated values for private companies using derived or reported information that is valued using live comparisons to public competitors.<ref name=":1" />

The valuations are converted to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and do not include assumptions about personal debt.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

Journalists have noted that the detailed methodology used for the index is more transparent than the "somewhat vaguer" calculation behind other lists.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://qz.com/58960/forbes-and-bloomberg-share-a-fascination-with-billionaires-but-dont-agree-on-much-beyond-that/|title=Forbes and Bloomberg share a fascination with billionaires, but don't agree on much beyond that|last=Guilford|first=Gwynn|work=Quartz|access-date=August 23, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> "The Bloomberg listers say their estimates may be more accurate than the competition's because they have better data and reporting (from Bloomberg terminals and its reporting staff)."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2012/03/05/a-better-billionaires-list/|title=A Better Billionaire's List|last=Frank|first=Robert|date=March 5, 2012|website=WSJ|language=en-US|access-date=August 23, 2017}}</ref>
