Just wanted to share, because I was personally fascinated that the Walton family took four of the top ten spots. FOUR!
Another fascinating point, most of the top ten were either computer/technological gurus, Wal-Mart associated, or casino/gambling top-dawgs.
Now, I think there are probably a few missing from this list...but that's a whole different subject.
Oh, and one other point, everyone on the Forbes 400 list this year, for the first time, had $1 billion or more. You aren't the richest of the rich anymore with $999,999,999.99. You've got to have $1,000,000,000.00
What are your thoughts?

I have no idea when Caleb's play is! i'll check and see later!!
Those are cool stats. Though, Michael Dell is not a technical-guru. I actually watched part of a virtual interview with him and several elite colleges, and he gave as most basic answers as any business owner could give. I think he's just an ordinary guy who just happened to come across a brilliant entrepreneural business idea.
