    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.
