Which personality type(s) will be mostly likely to become rich like an exclusively wealthy sugar daddy or sugar mommy? Does it matter?

And just because it's fun, here's a bunch of statistical charts spanning all of MBTI and more:

With this for earning and not inherenting it Te doms. Easy pick. They know what they want and not afraid to go for it. EXTJ. I mean there is extensive data corresponding that bell curve in their area. Of course this data would correspond to the average household because if lightning hits then we could look the richest people in America and compare it to their known mbti types.

It's a small sample size so may not be qualified for causality and not every billionaire is outgoing or popular in the press so missing some from the list. Caveat Elon Musk is South African and even though he lives in America and currently is the richest American INTJ, didn't know if I should add him to the list. I can see a good argument that he's an INTP too. Anyways if we go buy this 30% of the richest men are INTP and 60% are introverted.

  • Jeff Bezos - ENTJ
  • Bill Gates - ENTJ
  • Warren Buffet ISTJ.
  • Mark Zuckerberg INTJ.
  • Larry Ellison - ESFP.
  • Larry Page INTP.
  • Sergey Brin INTP.
  • Steve Ballmer ESTJ
  • Paul Allen INTP

On the other hand for inheritance, it would not be type related. I'm sure the list above have some on there that inherited and got a leg up in the system.

He and some others.
They didn't even bother listing him on the Forbs scale so I can't even tell you his type.

Maybe INFP after all.

I bet most wealthy people have inherited something (other than money) that played a significant part in their wealth-building ability: parents' social connections, a family business, a financially stable upbringing that allowed them to go to college or savings to live on when their initial ventures failed. So I doubt you'd find type-related results unless you control for socioeconomic background...and location. Getting rich in a small or poor country is not easy because there just isn't enough consumption, unless perhaps someone is selling a stable like food or housing.

But even then there'd probably be a lot of type scatter because different types go into different financial endeavors. The people who got rich as musicians likely have a different type distribution than those who got rich as entrepreneurs.
