The 400 richest people in America are having a rollicking time in the roaring 2020s. In all, they are worth a record $5.4 trillion, up nearly $1 trillion from last year. A dozen have $100 billion-plus fortunes, also a record. And admission to this elite club is pricier than ever: A minimum net worth of $3.3 billion is required, up $400 million since 2023. Despite the high bar, 23 newcomers managed to break into the ranks, having grown their fortunes in everything from mundane plastic pipes to cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

I don’t wish harm on anyone, and I say that as a Christian. But the world will be a better place when that power-hungry motherfricker is finally gone.

Shekelberg has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to anti-2A lobby groups and Democratic politicians. He’s arguably as bad as George Soros

Just the top few hundred wealthiest people adding a trillion dollars a year --not even mentioning the next few thousand of them -- sure sheds a lot of light on discussions about the middle class shrinking.

Warren buffet convinced bill gates to diversify in the early 90s rather than be all Microsoft stock so he sold a bunch

He’d be a trillionaire by now if he had held his original stake
