As well as investigating the spread of the CEO population across the globe, the research also went on to identify the characteristics of a ‘typical’ millionaire CEO. The researchers concluded that the average CEO with millionaire status is a 58-year-old male, however on learning this sales and marketing firm AJG Direct has spoken out about how their industry is working hard to break this mould and help young CEOs reach financial success faster.

However, this research has definitively proved that this is not the case, that the vast majority of people have created their success from scratch and that with the right attitude and mindset anything is possible’ stated a spokesperson for AJG Direct.
