- Once the number of online articles published (from September 2020 to August 2021) for each analysed entrepreneur was established, they were ranked from highest to lowest based on the number of online articles published about them, with the top 10 entrepreneurs being included in the final results/data table.
- com did take into account the different ways in which online articles are published, with some articles opting to use only the surname of an entrepreneur in their article or an abbreviated version of an entrepreneur’s name in their article e.g. ‘Elon Musk’, ‘Musk’ and ‘E Musk’ (all variations of the same name).
- The figures for the number of online articles published for each entrepreneur in the top 10 list are all estimates/approximates and accounts for online articles from around the world published from September 2020 to August 2021.
