titans Charles and David Koch ($16 billion each). “

Hey didn't one of the Koch brothers sue Charles and Divid claiming he had been cheated in a deal where he sold his shares in the company to his brothers? Pretty nasty fight too if I remember correctly.

Wal-Mart heirs Christy Walton ($21.5 billion), Jim C. Walton ($19.6 billion), Alice Walton ($19.3 billion), and S. Robson Walton ($19 billion); “

One of their brothers died in an accident a few years back in California, didn't he?

media maven Michael Bloomberg ($17.5 billion)”

Groan!
Even more money for this clown to use in his insane anti-gun campaign.
Good news is, he has pledged to give most of his money to charity, just like Gates. Gonna depend on what he means by “charity” though.

The Koches are always involved in a hubbub...latest was one of them having a messy divorce from a Swedish gold digger who claims to be royalty

Michael Bloomberg was in the 5 billion dollar range in 2000
He did great during the GW Bush years

Dang! What  a waste to die young and still be a multi-billionaire. Think of all the fun you can have....

Also fun making charitable donations to causes you favor
Also enough money to sire a few more children if your original ones were duds
With a nice new wife or mistress
