	I love that I missed the guy who runs Dell. :) Fun quiz, but it makes me kind of depressed.

	Only got the ones whose name is the same as the company, plus Gates. And yeah, it makes me kinda depressed too.

	It would be funny to see the list updated now. I know that Adelson, for example, is down to less than $2 billion since almost all of his money was in stock that has declined by more than 90%

	@Shoban. Poor guy. Gosh, that almost breaks my heart. Almost. lol

	For all that we hear his name and see his face, I'm surprised that Trump didn't make this list.

	davidr:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 19:42 GMT	4 points
	@Scott S.: I was surprised by Trump's absence, too. He doesn't appear in the first ten pages of the source at Forbes, so his wealth is under $4.3bn.

	No love for C. Montgomery Burns? Even as a bonus question?

	ssab:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 22:34 GMT	7 points
	I was suprised to not see Boone Pickens on the list either. As much money as he's been spending lately.

	RipTatermen:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 23:12 GMT	9 points
	Trump's never been this kind of rich. He's just good at self-promotion.

	drza:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 23:49 GMT	5 points
	I tried Mr. Sporcle and was surprised it wasnt on the list....ahhh maybe someday

	Jaspers:	Dec 13th, 2008 at 23:52 GMT	7 points
	@Magister: Forbes prints an annual list of 15 richest fictional billionaires. Monty Burns usually places.

	Aww... a list involving just the names of people and there were both Koch and Cox involved... sweet.

	magister:	Dec 14th, 2008 at 02:17 GMT	4 points
	Wow. I hadn't seen that list. Can we make that a Sporcle quiz?

"larry ellison" should be an acceptable response for "lawrence ellison". I know that most (all) of these accept last name only, but "larry ellison" is the name he's most commonly known by.

	This should be updated to the Sept update...

	This game is incorrect... needs updated

	Any of these guys single?

	Cross Mr. Adelson off the list. No one is gambling these days.

	I wish I was on this list... haha ya right.
