How do you edit the title of a subject after you mistakenly mis-spell part of it? Oops!

You'll have to ask Tak/Gizz to do it, I don't think vBulletin lets you

JP Morgan was a real peace of work. When he owned the New Haven RR he slashed wages 50% then gave himself a $10,000,000 bonus at the end of the year. He would make or break you at a whim.

what about Donald Trump, or Vince McMahon?

Chaotic42 03-06-07 12:53 AM

According to this site: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi

He would be worth $19,683,067,379.12 today. Bill Gates is worth $82,000,000,000 or more than four times Rockefeller at his death.

Thats a good point, I think McMahon is pretty high up there.

Kapitan_Phillips 03-06-07 10:36 AM

Trump is #94 with $2.9 billion and McMahon has dropped off the Forbes list, he's worth $700 million

The study above is based on GDP or how much you could own of the entire production of the country. Bill Gates can't hold a candle to that.
