ⓘ How this study was doneLast reviewed June 24, 2026

We took everyone whose field is Business, with a verified birth date, and (where possible) split them by role using their listed occupations. For each Life Path we computed its lift (share within the group ÷ share among all famous people). Business is a smaller cohort than some, so treat the finer detail as indicative. Placeholder (January 1) dates are excluded.
