Edit: nvm, the article talks about a Chris Rock quote from the previous year (2003) at which point Oprah doesn't show up on the Forbes website.


Does it matter? The answer is still, “at least an order of magnitude less than Bill...”


An order of magnitude less than Bill Gates is still outrageously wealthy.

Forbes says there are 1940 billionaires in the world today, that puts anyone over $1 billion in the top 0.0001 percent.


3.1 billion is wealthy.
