Seriously - the first time I read the list (back in the 80s), the lowest person was worth $250 mil, and Oprah was near the bottom! There was a great letter from Sam Walton complaining about being "outed" - at the time, few people knew who he was, or that he was a billionaire, since he always lived modestly (drove an old pickup at the time); after the previous year's list he'd been harassed endlessly by people with their hands out.
