This quiz would be better if they were in order of wealth. Instead of just randomly arranged.

I resorted and fix the typo for Buffett. JP Getty and JP Morgan were "only" worth $6b and $1.2b, resp. They have been removed.

Kind of unfair to list opium as a major source of Astor's wealth. Furs and NYC real estate were the keys.
