Background

Justin Bieber rose to fame after releasing his debut EP My World back in 2009, and has since gone on to become one of the most well-known and highest-earning singers on the planet. Interestingly - despite his gender - Bieber holds just a 79% similarity to Forbes’ ideal entrepreneur, largely due to the fact he’s Canadian rather than American.

Despite this, there’s no denying that Bieber has gained success around the world, as he’s estimated to have sold 150 million records worldwide as of 2019, making him one of the world’s best-selling artists.

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.
