Missing someone?
This list is a sample, not a census. We find freelancers through Upwork's public hire pages, which show nine people at a time, so strong profiles can be missing until a page features them. We have also found 57,332 people whose earnings are private; they stay off the ranking because no public figure exists. Paste a profile link and we will look for it on the next run.
