I asked Grok:
Please list the per capita number of billionaires in each the following countries: the United States, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, and Laos. Please rank the list starting with the higher per capita number of billionaires. For each country, list the name of the country, and the number of billionaires per capita. No long essay.
This is the answer that it gave:
Below is a ranked list of the per capita number of billionaires (per million people) for the requested countries, based on Forbes’ 2025 Billionaires List and 2025 population estimates.
Iceland: ~2.56 (1 billionaire, 0.39 million population)
Sweden: ~2.86 (30 billionaires, 10.5 million population)
United States: ~2.37 (813 billionaires, 343 million population)
Norway: ~2.18 (12 billionaires, 5.5 million population)
Singapore: ~1.80 (43 billionaires, 5.7 million population)
Denmark: ~1.67 (10 billionaires, 6.0 million population)
Finland: ~1.25 (7 billionaires, 5.6 million population)
Netherlands: ~0.67 (12 billionaires, 18 million population)
Germany: ~0.64 (54 billionaires, 84 million population)
France: ~0.63 (43 billionaires, 68 million population)
Canada: ~0.45 (45 billionaires, 42 million population)
United Kingdom: ~0.43 (45 billionaires, 67 million population)
Belgium: ~0.26 (3 billionaires, 11.7 million population)
Japan: ~0.24 (30 billionaires, 125 million population)
South Korea: ~0.19 (10 billionaires, 51 million population)
North Korea: 0 (0 billionaires, 26 million population)
Cuba: 0 (0 billionaires, 11 million population)
Venezuela: 0 (0 billionaires, 28 million population)
Zimbabwe: 0 (0 billionaires, 16 million population)

Billionaire counts are sourced from Forbes 2025 or estimated based on recent trends.

Population figures are approximate for 2025 from World Bank and similar sources.
Countries with 0 billionaires (North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Laos) have no recorded billionaires due to economic or political constraints.

Btt
But they are fine with soros since he gives big bucks to commies and fake protestors
Sometimes the correction of an error like this will cascade into the correction of other errors.
The rulers of North Korea are billionaires—so Grok may have missed that one.
No matter the country, the more billionaires the better.
As usual the LLM that you rely on to try to get hits on your blog is full of nonsense.
Chia Dictator is a billionaire.
So are the leaders of all the other countries in question.
Castro was one of the twenty richest people in the world when the devil dragged him screaming to hell.
They are fine with isms that have “equity” that makes everyone poor and stupid.
If they were really concerned about people they could use that same type of “equity” to just make EVERYONE billionaires. They would in fact demand it be done, if they truly cared. Look, people can live pretty good lives when they are a billionaire. Soros certainly agrees.
But see, then people like Soros wouldn’t be special. They wouldn’t have their power anymore. Not when “equity” makes everyone equal to them. Then they are just one voice of many again and no one has to listen to them anymore than anyone else.
They push “equity” when it drives standards down, when it lowers incomes of peoples, when it makes people dumber. Getting rid of advanced/honors classes. Changing standards for pilots, for firefighters, for the military. The absurdity of paying wnba players the same as nba players.
LOL...”No long essay.” So you’ve learned Grok is a real windy windbag, too!
I keep the following handy in a text file. I’ll have to add “Don’t be a gasbag!”
Summarize it in html 2.0. No css. Do not tell me about html 2.0. Do not use title tag. Do not use the html tag. Do not use head tag. Do not use Body tag. Do not use /p tags. Use unordered list as required. Do not use h1, h2 or h3 tags. Do not use DOCTYPE HTML tag. Do not use “leans into,” “unpack,” or “vibe.”
This is not a joke.
Do Bernie and Mamdani mean to kill billionaires or to steal all their money with confiscatory taxation?
In either case the billionaires won’t “exist.”
Similar to the withered monster Schumer saying the GOP will face consequences.
Then said “Oh, I always meant by future elections. Not violence.”
I’ve spotted errors like that in Grok quite frequently. Or serious omissions.
When I push back on it, it fixes the errors and includes the new information I provided. But the errors and omissions are troubling.
Bernie, should a politician own three homes? You cannot be in all three at the same time!
the math is not too good. I just checked Canada
45 billionaires, 42 millions give 1.07.Well up there, between Finland and Netherlands.
I think MILLIONAIRES LIKE BERNIE shouldn’t exist. Bernie should have to let people use his EMPTY MA SIONS when he isn’t in them. I need a vacation and would really like to stay RENT FREE in one of his mansions.
We should only not allow lawyers to be billionaires.
If only all the young “skull full ‘o mush” voters in NYC cared about something besides “free stuff”.
My experience with Grok is similar to yours.
