Creating Wealth – A Survey of Entrepreneurs Worldwide: Their Insights. Their Challenges. Their Needs
The mindset of the world’s entrepreneurs is crucial for our future economic growth. They will build their businesses, invest in them and create jobs—if they are confident in their countries’ economies, and if they find the legal and social environments they operate in conducive to doing business.
Forbes insights and Societe Generale Private Banking conducted a survey of 210 entrepreneurs worldwide, augmented by in-depth interviews with more than a dozen entrepreneurs and Forbes wealth analysts, to take the pulse of how they see future economic growth.
Forty-three percent of survey respondents have business assets between $25 million and $500 million, 20% between $500 million and $5 billion, and 13% over $5 billion. Twenty-three percent have business assets under $25 million. All respondents have investable assets starting at $5 million. Sixty-two percent are self-made, 9% have inherited wealth, and 29% both inherited and created their wealth.
