Is there an algorithm

[Heat]

You would first have to define how you are reaching your answer. The first question would be whether you are interested in where each person ranks in each category, or on their actual figures.

If you were going by ranks, you could define the "least rich and most successful" as the person with the minimum result for adding the two ranks together.

If you were using the actual figures, you will need to define a formula which produces a single number from both the figures.

So I would say there is no "correct" way of combining and comparing the two, but algorithms could be made once you've defined how you will weight each one.

The weight would be 50-50..

It's hard to explain, like I know what I mean but don't know how to explain it..

It would evaluate the earnings from say if you are defining the ranks "Top 20 from each" it would evaluate the earnings from all the top 20, and then it would[Bad example, lets just assume you are using this for a rank of "successful athletes" in a list of 20] it would figure out what athlete has the least amount of money in the top 20, but has accomplished the most.


I guess what I mean is think of it like "success" in number of, random example; career wins.

I'm wondering if you can take the career wins, and evaluate how many each person has in the top 20
And be able to have a list of how much each one of those people have in their bank account

And for example it would go something like:
Wins[by rank] | Money:
1 | 12M
2 | 22.5M
3 | 146M
4 | 18M
5 | 10M
6 | 7M
7 | 15M
8 | 4.4M
9 | 84.9M
10 | 72M

And then, what i'm wondering, is if there is a way to find what person has the highest wins, with the lowest amount of money in comparison to all the other values given.

You misunderstood me, hopefully you understand my question now.
