Azazello1313 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Wealth is relative, and the value of the dollar is far from fixed. So this ranking of American plutocrats measures their total wealth as a fraction of U.S. GDP at their time of death (or for Gates, 2006).

dsrm Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 If Gates = 82 billion at 1/152 of GDP John D's wealth would be somewhere near 200 billion in today's dollars. (and that's before price gouging) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
