How the score works

Ten rows, one point each, no weighting. Every number is the same one shown on the two date pages and comes from the sourced dataset: billionaires need a dated estimate of at least $1B from Forbes, Bloomberg, the Sunday Times Rich List, Hurun or a filing; wealth is the sum of low-bound estimates; the rest are counts of people by documented occupation, award, citizenship or dated milestone. A date with more people in our dataset naturally wins more rows, so the battle measures documented company, not destiny. Nothing here says anything about anyone born on either date. Methodology.
