Background

Multi award-winning singer and songwriter Billie Eilish shot to fame after uploading her hit ‘Ocean Eyes’ to SoundCloud and attracting the attention of fans. Since then, she’s won a staggering seven Grammy Awards, a Brit Award and broken two Guinness World Records, making her one of the world’s highest-earning musicians under 30.

But Eilish may have still made it big even if it weren’t for her lucky break, as the data shows her background holds a 95% similarity to that of Forbes’ ideal entrepreneur - largely due to the fact she was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Self-Made Celebs: Entrepreneurial Odds

Self-Made Celebs: Entrepreneurial Odds was created by fair bingo provider PlayOJO to reveal what the world’s ideal entrepreneur looks like, based on the gender, age, location, ethnicity, nationality, birth month and education of those featured on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 lists over the last five years. The study looked at the background of celebrities featured in the following categories of each 30 Under 30 list: Hollywood & Entertainment, Sports, Social Media and Music.

Using this data and the parallels drawn over the past five years, the study also looked at the backgrounds of the highest-earning musicians, actors, social media influencers and sports stars (aged under 30) to assign them a percentage similarity score, based on how closely their background matched that of the ideal Forbes entrepreneur.

Finally, the study also looks at key demographic data across England to assign a percentage similarity score to each region, based on gender, age, birth month and ethnicity splits. Sources used in the analysis included Forbes 30 Under 30 Lists (2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017), Social Blade, Office for National Statistics and GOV.UK.
