Aren't Bezos, Musk, Gates & co richer the first half of the people on the list?


Not until one of them buys the entire US armed forces, installs himself on the throne in Washington and declares all of California his own personal property - just to draw a parallel to the number 2 spot ;)


The fact that none of them could come close to doing that aptly illustrates why they’re not nearly as wealthy as those in the past.


Soon.
