Measured over 44 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 686 interactions against 2.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.028%. Measured over 44 original posts, its engagement rate beats 63% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 89K times each, and 0.769% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.58% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 44 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 17x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ray Dalio's engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 49% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.028%, Ray Dalio sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

I had a blast being out until 4am with my family and friends at UNVRS in Ibiza for my 77th birthday and thought I’d pass it along to turn you onto it, in case you’re in the neighborhood. https://t.co/sOpPZpSI0H

In order to be successful, you have to do five things. There’s a sequence to it. 1. Have (audacious) goals. 2. Identify and don't tolerate problems. 3. Diagnose the problems to get at their root causes. 4. Design a path to fix those things. 5. Push through to results. This is what I call looping. Go for your goals, identify your problems, get to the root cause, design a path, and push through. Life is basically just doing that over and over again. If you do that, you'll make the advances. #Principles #RayDalio #PersonalGrowth

Yes, we are past the point of no return. When debt service payments squeeze out spending, it is like plaque in the circulatory system squeezing out the flow of blood. It is the same kind of thing, and it can be measured. We are seeing that happen right now. There is also a supply and demand issue. A budget deficit means that debt has to be sold. We can see this happening in the bond market—bonds have been a bad investment, and there is pressure on interest rates and borrowing. This dynamic is happening, but people are treating it like it hasn't happened before. They don't understand that, just like plaque in the arteries, the debt builds up and they have that exposure.

My reaction from just watching the solar eclipse is that it was a spiritual moment because it brought people with all different backgrounds and values together with nature and each other in a shared valued moment. The World Cup was like this except it didn't have the nature part. I hope for more of these shared moments because spirituality, if understood and felt, would bring about the best path forward. To me, the greatest battle is between spirituality--feeling a part of and taking care of the shared common good of all humanity and nature--and fighting for and inflicting harm for oneself and those on your side. More than anything, whether spirituality wins this battle over selfishness will determine the well-being and perhaps the sustainability of mankind.

I've received a lot of positive feedback on this interview I did with @StevenBartlett for his Diary of a CEO podcast, with a number of people telling me I should share it for those who haven't seen it. So I'm passing it along here. You can check the video description for specific topics so you can jump straight to what interests you. https://t.co/fFAAuaQBcU

I’ve been practicing meditation for a long time, and it has easily been one of the most powerful things that’s helped me in my life. It provides an equanimity—almost like being a ninja. Everything slows down around you, and you are able to deal with whatever comes at you from a place of calm. More importantly, it opens up a connection between your conscious brain and your subconscious brain. That is where the magic is, because that is where all creativity is trapped. When you quiet your mind and move past the noise, you open up that channel. It’s a very simple exercise. If you ask me if I would be at the same level of success without it all these years, I don't believe I’d be close. #Meditation #Principles

When I talk with a "Shaper" like Elon Musk, what stands out is the ability to operate at both the big-picture level and the granular detail. I remember him walking me through the details of his car—from the screen to the button—and in the same breath talking about putting a watering can with a plant on a rocket to send to Mars just to establish "first life on Mars" and inspire people. True shapers naturally bridge the gap between grand vision and high-level execution. Credit: Sam Parr, Shaan Puri, and @myfirstmilpod #RayDalio #ElonMusk #Vision #Leadership

Integrity comes from the Latin word integritas, meaning "one" or "whole." People who are one way on the inside and another way on the outside--i.e., not "whole"--lack integrity; they have "duality" instead. While presenting your view as something other than it is can sometimes be easier in the moment (because you can avoid conflict, or embarrassment, or achieve some other short-term goal), the second and third-order effects of having integrity and avoiding duality are immense. People who are one way on the inside and another on the outside become conflicted and often lose touch with their own values. It's difficult for them to be happy and almost impossible for them to be their best. #principleoftheday

- What is Ray Dalio's engagement rate on X?
- Ray Dalio (@RayDalio) has an engagement rate of 0.028%, based on the median interactions across 44 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,495,856 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.028%, Ray Dalio sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @RayDalio have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 63% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @RayDalio post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.63 posts per day across the measured window.
