I wrote a spider program against MVP website APIs and I got some interesting data, which I never know when I was a Microsoft MVP.
Do you know the country distribution data of MVP program? It looks to be a secret only MVP program managers know about.
The following data are the latest data collected in Nov. 2023. It’s the MVP numbers per country.
According to the above data, there are 10 countries which have more than 100 MVPs. They are
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Japan
- China
- Germany
- Brazil
- Canada
- France
- Australia
And the MVP numbers of European countries are impressive because the population of these countries are small but the number of MVPs is not small. I’m really surprised that Netherlands, Germany and France have so many MVPs. It’s almost the same number as big countries like China. And UK is an exception. It’s the #2 country in MVP number ranking.
