The Anti-Forbes List redefines success by ranking founders based on the shareholder wealth they created for index funds, pensions, and employees, rather than their personal net worth. By calculating the total value generated beyond T-bill returns and subtracting the founder's retained stake, this tool reveals true wealth creators like Jensen Huang and Bill Gates. It exposes companies that have destroyed value despite founder riches, offering a transparent, data-driven perspective on economic impact. Built on SEC EDGAR data and Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, this open-source project invites community corrections via GitHub to refine its methodology.

"Somebody needs to make a list where they rank people by how much wealth they've created for other people."
