    I still don’t get why “rich lists” aren’t done using tax returns. It’s a clear yardstick to compare egos by.

    It also has the side effect of encouraging civic contribution via taxes. By the time you’re that rich, money is just a score. Make it worthwhile not to dodge taxes, and tax dodging will drop off.
