Re: RICHEST Americans
In the US we tend to say lower-class, middle-class, and upper-class.
Where would the working class fall?
In the UK class is said to be independent of current income -- more a matter of up-bringing and the class of one's family. In the US it seems to be ALL about $$$.

Not sure if its been mentioned in this thread, but one of the boys in the top 5 owns the venetian in vegas plus a few other casinos.
Made $1 million an hour on average over the past 2 years - nice work.
