Cohn,

Hi Barry,

Both Brin and Page have been on the Forbes 400 previously.



rustybrick,

Thanks. Fixed.



GroupScope,

I wanted to let you know about a cool application that was buried a couple of clicks deep on the Forbes site.

If you go here:
http://www.forbes.com/2007/09/18/billionaire-social-mapping-lists-richlist07-cx_jb_0920social_map.html

You’ll find an interactive relationship viewer that we (GroupScope, Inc.) created in a partnership with Forbes to show the affiliation networks of the list member alumni from Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale. It’s a really great interactive way to learn more about the list. Thought you might enjoy checking it out.
