Talk:List of centibillionaires

Elon Musk Nationality

edit

This article lists Musk's nationality as American whereas List of largest losses of wealth, which is referenced in the See Also, lists Musk as South African. Any particular reason for this discrepancy? Is there a standard for how individual's with multiple nationalities should be handled in lists such as these?

I know this may sound silly, however if we are to truly believe (as I think is reasonable), that according to [https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/trends/story/heres-how-a-youtube-prankster-became-worlds-richest-man-for-7-mins-323093-2022-02-18 that he once had a net worth of over 500 billion pounds sterling for 7 minutes in 2022. Therefore, if we are to follow the criteria listed in the start of this page, he is to qualify as a person who was once a centibillionaire and may also qualify for the page List of largest losses of wealth.

Wrong name

The prefix "centi-" means 1/100th, as in centimeter. This page should be renamed to be about Hectobillionaires, 100 billion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradtem (talkcontribs)

It can mean either 1/100 or 100 in common use. This neologism is not part of the formal metric system, so we should follow the sources.Sam Kuru (talk) 00:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
