Temporary Reporter, Wealth

Forbes believes in the power of entrepreneurial capitalism and uses it on various platforms to ignite the conversations that drive systemic change in business, culture and society. We celebrate success and are committed to using our megaphone to drive diversity, equity and inclusion.

Forbes is looking to hire inquisitive college students, recent graduates or graduate students to investigate and cover the world’s wealthiest people. That person will be an integral part of the team that produces one of our most popular projects, The World’s Billionaires list, which includes our annual ranking of the richest people on the planet. The position will begin on December 2, 2024, and run through March 28, 2025. These are paid positions with opportunities to write for Forbes.com, and can lead to full-time positions.

Responsibilities:

• Gathering information on billionaires through old-school reporting: digging through financial filings and annual reports, conducting phone interviews with billionaires themselves and reaching out to third-party sources.
• Helping to compile Forbes’ net worth estimates.
• Writing bios about billionaires you cover.
• Creating web features and short magazine articles about billionaires.

The Ideal Candidate

• Prior experience in writing or finance.
• Interest in delving into financial documents.
• Interest in covering successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills.
• Comfort with financial figures and terms.
• Language skills are a plus.
