mokusatsu:

Only the Top 20 are the true wealthy elites.
The rest of the Forbes 400 are second tier.



LOL. Why, it almost sounds like you’re poking fun at CCers’ view of colleges!

On the other hand, there is a big difference between those in the Forbes #390 to #400 range, with about $1.1 billion apiece, and Bill Gates and Warren Buffett at the top of the list, with $66 billion and $46 billion, respectively. The difference: those with a mere billion and change probably need to watch their millions, while for those in Gates-Buffett territory, it’s more like what the late Sen. Everett Dirksen reputedly once said about Congress: “A billion here and a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.”
