The inverse of a rich list
Rank people by the wealth they created for other people.
Jeff Bezos put it simply: take a company's market cap, subtract the piece he kept, and what remains is value delivered to others. Value Delivered Score turns that math into a public methodology and leaderboard — including live public companies and frozen co-founder historical exits.
Formula
V − S
Company value minus personal stake. Career score adds live companies plus approved co-founder exits.
