What percentage of people globally have achieved performance across all three pillars of focus, health, and wealth?

Best in the world criteria

What it takes to be the best in the world:

1. You own 100% of your business
2. You have achieved at least a Rule of 50 performance (revenue growth + EBITDA margin), never once raising outside capital (debt or equity)
3. You have a VO₂ max of at least 55
4. You can bench press at least 225 pounds on the incline
5. You take no steroids, alcohol, or drugs (legal or illegal)
6. You work on your mission at least 12 hours per day every day

Media Celebration

Before we calculate probabilities, let's stop and look at the founders that the world and media have glorified for decades:

• Jobs, Gates, Buffett, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Jensen
• They optimized along two dimensions: money and mission
• But not a single one of them owned 100% of their business
• Not a single one of them did it without raising capital
• Not one of them had a VO₂ max and bench press at the level we're discussing, and the mental health was likely problematic as well.

They couldn't keep their health in balance, and they couldn't keep 100% ownership of their firm. It took at least one of them out early. Beware false gods and Fake Jetpacks, even if every news story and Wall Street glorifies it.

They are not the best in the world.

Calculating Probabilities

Let's look at the math for the percent of people who have achieved this in our global population:

1. 100% Ownership

• ~10% of adults are self-employed
• Perhaps 20% of those truly own 100% with no co-owners, investors, or debt
• Probability: 10% × 20% = 2%

2. Rule of 50+ Performance

• < 1% of all small businesses ever hit this metric
• Among fully self-funded firms, it's even rarer than that
• Probability: 0.5% (conservative)

3. VO₂ max > 55

• Represents elite level aerobic capacity
• That's the top 1% of trained men and 0.1% of adults overall
• Probability: 0.1%

4. Incline Bench > 225 pounds

• 1% of regular gym goers
• 0.3% of adult men
• 0.1% overall people
• Probability: 0.1%

5. Zero drugs, medicine, alcohol, or steroids/testosterone

• Around 15% abstain from alcohol
• Only 5% avoid both medication and drugs as well
• Probability: 5%

6. Mission-Focused > 12 hours per day

• Estimate 1 in 200 adults sustain that direct level of focus long-term
• Probability: 0.5%

Now combine the probabilities to determine the probability of achieving all of them independently, which we would do by multiplying the probability of each together:

• 2% × 0.5% × 0.1% × 0.1% × 5% × 0.5% = 2.5×10⁻¹⁴
• That's 0.000000000000025

Number of People in the World

1 in 40 trillion people

Earth's population is 8.1 billion people, which means it would take 5,000 Earths to find another person who has met all of those criteria.
