Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans comes out tomorrow.
There are a handful of well-to-do public figures who either failed to
make the list, or have been displaced. Among the missing this year will
be Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, the casino owner
Nielsen, and Teresa Heinz Kerry.
I'm sure there's no truth to the rumor that some of these luminaries
have been nudged into relative asset oblivion by owners of those cookie
cutter McMansions scattered around the cul-de-sacs of suburban Naples.
AFAIK, you need a net worth of at least a $billion to make the list,
and achieving that would require the purchase of perhaps two houses in
Naples and then waiting another 18-24 months. :-)
I thought about asking Forbes to keep my name out of it, and then thought, "What
the hell, let 'em publish what they will."
