The pie chart sh o w s the main careers of m illionaires 
in the United States in percentages. We can see that 
the 
majority of m illionaires are businesspeople, 
while other jobs such as in the entertainm ent or 
tfre politics only represent 
a 
sm a ll proportion of the 
total. However, it could be said that m illionaires are 
m ostly people in the b u sin e ss and entertainm ent 
industries.
In the USA, people who w ork in §; business account 
for just under two thirds of millionaires. 
The 
next 
largest group of millionaires on the chart is people who 
w ork in film and television. They account for 15 % of 
the total. This group is closely followed by people who 
work in music. This sector accounts for 
a 
tenth of all 
millionaires in the USA.

of millionaires when combined. These people are 
sportspeople, politicians and people in other careers.
