The funding gap is staggering. 246 billionaires worth $1.56T died of aging this decade. Total ultra-wealthy investment in longevity over 25 years? $5B (according to @wsj.com) The average billionaire who died of aging held more wealth than the entire field's funding.

After 90, any advantage billionaires have disappears entirely. Billionaire mortality at 90+ is statistically indistinguishable from leading life expectancy countries The Gompertz curve doesn't care about your net worth.

So how much does being a billionaire buy men? 0-4 extra years beyond the world's healthiest population. Why such a wide range? It's complicated: selection bias, survivor effects, and pre-death wealth loss. Read the full study.

It sucks to be a female billionaire. Female billionaires die 4.5 years EARLIER than the leading benchmark. The usual 5-7 year female longevity advantage nearly vanishes. Male and female billionaires die at about the same age. No country on Earth shows a gap this small.

6 helicopter crashes in a decade, in a population of a few thousand. Helicopters are used to compress travel time. For 6 billionaires, they compressed life instead.

90% of billionaires die of an aging-related disease, or "peacefully," "in their sleep," "surrounded by family." All euphemisms for aging doing what aging does. Caveat: among deaths with known cause. 30% have no publicly disclosed cause (True wealth is quiet)

I tracked every billionaire who died in the last decade. 389 deaths. $2.17 trillion in wealth. 6 helicopter crashes. Here's what I found.

I'm launching a Substack next week with a piece I've been working on for two months. Original research on billionaire ... (can you guess what?)

I used to need alcohol as a social lubricant when I was younger. Now I'm the social lubricant myself.

Is it just me, or am I uncovering new reasons to pursue radical life extension? 🤔 (Of course, we're talking about biological age in theoretical high calendar-year-old 25-year-olds!) Paper for reference: doi.org/10.1101/cshp...

1️⃣ It's way better to be a woman! 2️⃣ If you're a man lucky enough to live to 5,000 years, you're in a world where there are three 25-year-old Japanese women for every one of you! 3️⃣ If you've made it to 10,000 years, the number of women per man is ~7.5.

Alexey Strygin @strygah.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

3️⃣ We also know there are big differences between male and female mortality rates. I found the mortality rates for 25-year-olds in Japan (0.02% for women, 0.04% for men) and plotted a graph. What do we observe?

Alexey Strygin @strygah.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

2️⃣ There's a huge variation in lifespan (see the survival curve I modeled): Half the people will die before reaching 1,214.5 years 18% will live up to 3,000 years 5.78% will make it to 5,000 years 0.33% will reach 10,000 years

Alexey Strygin @strygah.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

1️⃣ Even when we remove aging from the equation, there are still chances of dying (from infections, violence, accidents, and cancers). For 30-year-olds, the mortality rate in the paper is about ~0.057% per year, aligning with data from developed countries like Japan.

Alexey Strygin @strygah.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Reversing one year of aging per year essentially hits the Longevity Escape Velocity point. In this scenario, the expected lifespan for 30-year-olds is 1,782.6 years. Way better than now! But there are important nuances (I played around with the data for you): 📊

I've been digging into Andrew Scott's paper and found an interesting table modeling a theoretical therapy applied once a year that regenerates either 1 year, 9 months, 6 months, or 3 months of aging at different ages (see table). 🧵
