Why don't they just use their Cayman and Swiss numbered company corporation stamps? There isn't a looker in the bunch.

Not sure this is right for MD and VA. They don't list DC either.

There was a doco recently where Oliver Stone interviewed Vladimir Putin and suggested to him that he was the world's richest man. Vlad just smiled and avoided the question.

He'd be right up there, and I'm guessing he gets favourable tax treatment

A fella I know, Jack, worships people with wealth. Jack was thrilled to tell me that the person who used to live next to him inherited a billion+ and was now the richest person in the state. Jack liked to brag about knowing someone who was rich but acted like the guy next door ...

Guy next door? Some of my neighbors have a flea in their ears!

There are people who live part time in the Berkshires and Nantucket who pass Abigail Johnson, but I'm guessing this is based on percentage of time spent in the state or their declared state of residence?
