According to a study, "2021 Beloved Billionaire 100," shared by money.co.uk, AEW President Tony Khan is the world's "most loved" billionaire. 1500 of the world's richest people were ranked according to internet searches and social media posts, with the number of annual Google searches combined with the percentage of positive social media posts to create this list.
Khan tops the lost with "a massive 38% of all social media mentions of the 38-year-old sport mogul being overtly positive, more than any other person on the list, beating household names including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and WWE rival Vince McMahon who placed 7th on the list with a score of just 23%."
That's right; Khan is in first place, whereas the WWE Chairman is way back in seventh. This isn't exactly an "official" ranking, but it does say a lot about how Khan is perceived compared to McMahon.
Interestingly, "Vince McMahon is the billionaire with the highest wealth-to-popularity ratio ranking 8th overall despite being worth ‘just’ $2.2bn and a Forbes ranking of 1417."
It says a lot that the two pro wrestling personalities managed to crack the top 10, especially as the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jack Dorsey were all also included. Khan coming in at #1 is a fun accomplishment, though, and another way he's managed to get one over on Vince.
We'll hopefully have news soon on whether AEW Rampage managed to beat SmackDown last night!
