A readable index of concentrated wealth: what they own, what they give away, what they pay, and how much public support their empires touch. The point is not gossip. The point is the ratio.
// HOW TO READ THIS
Fortune is an estimated net worth. Charity is reported giving. Taxes are estimated personal or disclosed tax payments. Public support is a visible estimate of subsidies, tax credits, grants, or incentives connected to their companies, not a claim that the individual received cash personally.
