I am a Gemini myself and for some odd reason i have always attracted them,(like freinds, and even my life love is even a virgo. Though they annoy the heck out of me both the freind and intimate versions of a virgo only because Gemini’s can’t be wrong and neither can Virgo’s, but with that combination I think that is exactly why we get along so well. Not to metion the whole point of this connection is that I too am determined for the best. I almost left out something I have 3 virgo family members and one of them (male) is well off. Not nearly a billionaire but certainly the minset of one.

finding this information out really made my day. I am a virgo although not a successful one yet, for some reason people are intimidated by me and since I was young i’ve always been able to simplify things meaning if you show me how to do something I will figure out an easier way to do it but with the same quality.I am currently working on a invention that keeps coming to me as if it were heaven sent hopefully the world will love it.

I do hope tha; Virgos, ‘re the richest star sign – on average, as I’m born on: August the 29th, making me – a Virgo, of course (a day before: Warren Buffett and a few years later – as I’m 23)!!
I wander if and when; they research – the full – list, the results ‘ll match/be around; the same/Vigos still be the most etc. etc. I also -wander, if: the results ‘d be the same throughout history.

I don’t know what the statistics are, but the zodiac signs are not evenly distributed among people, billionaires or not. More babies are born in the fall than other seasons. I think it may have something to do with the winter holidays, ya think? Anyway, I would bet that there are more Virgos among the general population, as well as the population of billionaires.

Astrology, You Have Failed Me Yet Again

From Forbes:
So far, we have confirmed the birth dates for 613 of our 793 billionaires. Of those, more than 70, or roughly 12%, were born between Aug. 23 and Sept. 22, making this earth sign [Virgo] the most common among billionaires.
So either astr…

Depends on the standard deviation. Regardless, it’s just a bit of mindless fun.

70/613 = 11.42% (roughly 12%)

There are 12 zodical signs, so on average, you would expect 12/613 = 8.33% of the sample to be any given sign.

11.42 – 8.33 = 3.09%

Hardly significant.
Even more so considering that 180 billionaires are unaccounted for.
