The Big Three: India, Taiwan, and Israel

India, Taiwan, and Israel lead the ranking. In common, these economies combine deep technical talent pools, strong diaspora networks, and close ties to U.S. venture and capital markets. Founders from these countries have built outsized presences in software, semiconductors, cybersecurity, and trading.

Europe contributes 32 immigrant billionaires across eight countries, led by Germany (6), France (5), Hungary (4), the U.K. (4), and Ukraine (4). Russia, Greece, and Italy add three each, rounding out the region’s footprint. This wide distribution nearly matches Asia’s count, but is spread across more countries.
