American History 1988

``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt. As the gate for upward mobility was on the verge of closing, he struggled to move forward. College, Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship; HP, Apple, Microsoft. To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

Chapter 247: Forbes 400

```

Forbes magazine publishes the global billionaires list every March, a tradition that has continued for decades.

But aside from the global billionaires list, Forbes also has another list specifically for the domestic audience—the Forbes 400.

This list only compiles information on the assets of the top 400 billionaires in America, as well as the cities they reside in.

Unlike the global billionaires list published in March, the Forbes 400 is released at the end of September or beginning of October every year.

On October 9, just this morning, major newspapers such as The New York Times and The Sun have all syndicated this list.

Compared to the global billionaires list, local media are more interested in the Forbes 400, which is targeted at a domestic audience.

After all, the people on this list are in major cities across America, which greatly reduces the difficulty of interviewing them.
