People are often curious as to how many MVPs are in the United States and around the world, what countries do they represent, etc. so I decided to put some numbers together. These numbers were compiled from Microsoft’s MVP program Web site.

MVP by the Numbers

Here’s some interesting trivia about Microsoft MVPs. The information about MVPs is available from Microsoft’s Web site by using the search feature.

NOTE: The following information was accumulated on October 2, 2015. This is NOT an official Microsoft list and therefore it’s accuracy is not guaranteed.

Description How Many?
Number of professionals working in Information Technology around the world 100,000,000 (hundred million)
Number of MVP award categories 55
Number of MVPs around the world 3,958
Number of MVPs from United States At least 670**
Number of MVPs from Canada At least 187**

**Not all MVPs have entered their country so the search filter doesn’t reveal the complete number of individuals from each country but it displays all the MVPs in the world for a specific category.

MVP list sorted in descending order based on the Number of MVPs Worldwide. This is not a complete list of all categories.
