I might call 75% most. I stand corrected about Turner borrowing the money but he did not start out at the top if he inherited only $2mil. He turned it in to billions. Thirdly, the Forbes survey is of the top 400, hardly a noteworthy number. You where the one who introduced the survey. Its the only source of data that we have had available except my listing of the top few. The top 400 is not a large number but could reasonably be called the people at the very top which was what I was talking about. In any case it is quite possible that if you expand it further that the percentage that inherited most of the wealth could go down not up. Tim
