Interesting that the pay gap seems to apply to billionaires as well.
On top of that, a lot of the women are listed as "& family" which to me implies they aren't the sole owners of that wealth.
Julia Koch inherited her wealth from her husband David who died in 2019. I think most of them are in a similar situation.
I think all women on this list got their wealth through death or divorce.
Don't know about most of the other bastards, but Elon Musk at least doesn't have a family to list
Elon did inherit a bunch of money from his family in South Africa. That’s where he got his initial funding for his startups.
Oh, I thought it was saying their immediate family, as in wealth shared through marriage. I expect everyone one those lists came from some kind of generational fortune
At some level it stops being a pay gap, and starts being a sociopathy gap.
Why wouldn't it?
