The Split
Drawing a pair…
Two fortunes, one question, one tap. Every pick moves both Elo ratings and is written to the log that builds the board below. Figures are rounded public estimates; the vote is about fame, not merit.

Since 00:00 UTC. Frequently zero — the board is new.
The board
Everyone enters at 1500. Votes are the only thing that writes a rating — there is no editorial weighting step between a cast vote and this order.
Reading the board…
The tape
Read live from the log. This list is permitted to say nothing at all, and often does — the board is new and nothing here is padded to look busier than it is.
Reading the log…
The week
Appearances in decided matchups over a rolling seven-day window, wins and losses alike.
Counting the week…
The method
Everyone starts at 1500. A decided matchup writes one row and moves both ratings in a single transaction; the rating floor is 100. Nothing else adjusts a rating.
Net-worth figures are rounded editorial estimates entered by hand. No source list and no as-of date is recorded for them yet, so read each one as a ballpark rather than a quote — and never as a live valuation.
The question is which person is the bigger name in wealth. It is not a judgement about any person, not a claim about how anyone earned anything, and not financial advice.
