14. the inflation is the key or part of it

their fortune was worth $500 billion in 1960 with inflation, but in nominal dollars it was something else. Well, in order to keep up with the Forbeses, their wealth had to grow not only faster than inflation, but faster than the fortunes of the up and comers - Bill Gates and Sam Walton et. al.

Also, are you sure that a few people on today's list do not have a Rockefeller grandparent?
