The rarest phenotypic blood type is Type AB negative found in only 0.7% of people worldwide.

However, taking into account more than the 8 main blood types and including antigen combinations, something like Rh-null blood is much rarer. An article in Smithsonian magazine tells us that there are nine active donors of that blood type in the world.
