Background

Daisy Ridley is known for her starring role as Rey in the new Star Wars trilogy, which marked her first big break after working as a barmaid in London and studying for a BA of Arts in social science through the Open University. She later dropped out of her degree due to landing the breakout role in the Star Wars saga.

Ridley’s background means she bears a 59% similarity to the ideal Forbes’ entrepreneur, as she’s largely held back from scoring higher due to her gender, nationality, birth month and place of residence, being in London rather than America.

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.
