Not surprising to see the Astors on there.
Read a very interesting book about John Jacob and William Waldorf Astor, "When The Astors Ruled New York." Excellent read. BTW: If you are interested in captains of industry, go to my "Stranahan Manor" thread to learn about the CEO of Champion Spark Plug, Robert Stranahan. (It's in team, so the link might not work for non-team members). Stranahan Manor |

Ugh, it pains me to see royalty listed on there...that hardly counts given they got their wealth by taxation.

64.5% are from the United States.
In less than 150 years, the US has produced almost 2/3rds of the wealthiest people in history. [austinpowers]yeaaaaa capitalism![/austinpowers] |
