41 Media Moguls Make Forbes 400; Denton Not Among Them
The new Forbes 400 list is out — ranking the 400 richest Americans — is out, and the Forbes people tell us there are 41 media moguls on it. It's a lot of family money: There are five or six Hearsts, a Disney, an Annenberg, two Coxes. But what we're finding is making us surprisingly happy — maybe because we're interpreting as a victory for New York, or for magazines, or for people who aren't rightwing ideologues — is that Si Newhouse comes in above Rupert Murdoch.
Although, really, until one of them decides they want to give us some free money, we suppose we ought to just hate them all.
