> There are plenty of very wealthy people who never show up on the Forbes list because their money isn't new and it isn't public. This is a very important fact that is lost on most people. When people hate on Bezos, Gates and Musk for their wealth, it's because it is all based on stock wealth that is transparent. They don't have this cash sitting in a bank. However, there are undoubtably people with much more money than these 3 with assets so hidden governments can barely keep tabs on their actual wealth. So we just settle on easy targets.
