# Billionaires CSV File from From the CORGIS Dataset Project

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

This dataset is for demo purposes [for this blog post - How to directly access 150k+ Hugging Face Datasets with DuckDB and query using GPT-4o](https://blog.getwren.ai/how-to-load-huggingface-datasets-into-duckdb-and-query-with-gpt-4o-c2db89519e4d) and originated from the CORGIS dataset project.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

Researchers have compiled a multi-decade database of the super-rich. Building off the Forbes World’s Billionaires lists from 1996-2014, scholars at Peterson Institute for International Economics have added a couple dozen more variables about each billionaire - including whether they were self-made or inherited their wealth. (Roughly half of European billionaires and one-third of U.S. billionaires got a significant financial boost from family, the authors estimate.)
