This is a surprise to me - 0nly three in the top thirty were born in the 20th century.
NYT calculated wealth based on a percentage of the economy which places John D Rockefeller as number 1 at $192 Billion. From current richest - Bill Gates ($82 B) comes in at 5 and Warren Buffet ($46B) is 16.
It is interesting to see the names in the top thirty and their association with the golden age of the 19th century and their continued impact through legacy foundations.
