"But of most of them that are on the list, say, this year, are they new to the list, new wealth, or is this mostly inherited fortunes?"
"There's a mix of both. You know, the new arrivals are mostly new wealth. Every once in a while, we find a branch of an old family that we really should have included. And this year we found a few Melons out there in Pittsburgh."
"Who's the youngest on the list this year?"
"One of those. His name is Michael Carrier. But, you know, he goes back to the Melons on his mother's side."
"And he is how old?"
"He's twenty-five."
"And how much is he worth?"
"On the order of a couple of hundred million dollars. You should understand with people like the Melons, it is enormously hard to get a sense of just how much is out there. We think we're being conservative with that figure."
"What about the oldest? Who's the oldest on the list?"
"The oldest is a lady named Dorothy Stimson Bullit. And she's known out in the Washington State. She has some radio stations and real estate out there. The lady is ninety-four."
"Do you get any mail response from this? People write in and have comments about it?"
"We get people writing in saying, 'Gee, you missed so-and-so.' Once in a while, we get somebody who writes in and says, 'You missed me.' He's usually exaggerating."
