Now use this information for complete an investigation into who these people are and what patterns we can identify if we look at them as a group. You are going to write a report on your investigation. Your report should include all of the following:

- Text which describes and explains what you have found.
- Bar charts, choropleth maps and other techniques to present your findings

- What about gender? How many are men and how many are women?
- What other information could you analyse about the people on the list - what about how they made their money? What kind of business are they in? Are they self-made or did they inherit their wealth.
