Μπορεί να σας φαίνεται υπερβολικό αλλά για να αποτελέσει κάποιος μέλος της λίστας του Forbes με τους 400 πιο πλούσιους Αμερικανούς για το 2017 θα πρέπει η καθαρή αξία της περιουσίας του να αποτιμάται άνω των δύο δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων. Γνωστοί δισεκατομμυριούχοι όπως ο Brian Roberts της Comcast (καθαρή αξία 1,8 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια), η Sheryl Sandberg από το Facebook (καθαρή αξία 1,6 δισεκατομμύριο δολάρια) και η Sara Blakely της Spanx (καθαρή αξία 1,1 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια) δεν είναι αρκετά πλούσιοι για να περάσουν τη ... διαχωριστική γραμμή.
Κανένας από όσους συμπεριλαμβάνονται στη λίστα του Forbes με τους 400 πιο πλούσιους Αμερικανούς δεν έχει καθαρή περιουσία μικρότερη των δύο δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων. Μία ... "συγγνώμη" σίγουρα δεν είναι αρκετή προς εκείνους που δεν κατάφεραν να μπουν στη λίστα. Και δεν είναι λίγοι. Πρόκειται για συνολικά 169 δισεκατομμυριούχους. Τι πρόβλημα και αυτό... Να είσαι δισεκατομμυριούχος και να σε απορρίπτει το Forbes!
Ακολουθούν οι 169 δισεκατομμυριούχοι, οι οποίοι δεν είναι αρκετά πλούσιοι ώστε να συμπεριληφθούν στη λίστα του Forbes με τους 400 πλουσιότερους Αμερικανούς για το 2017:
