My, my. White billionaires are leading more eugenic lifestyles (more children) than non-white ones.
It appears the pursuit of wealth is adaptive even a much lower levels of wealth.
Millionaire profile is 57 yo, three children, on average, and of Anglo-European/NW European descent.

Fascinating two posts here, n/a. Thanks for your efforts. You're worth your weight in gold!
In the spirit of Anon-comment-#1: It looks like the average billionaire was born in 1944. Average # of kids: 3.1
Q. How does this compare with the fecundity of the average person born in 1944?
It would also be interesting to know about grandchildren, but boy that'd be tough to do.
