The Board
Every name, in order
Two boards, side by side: what people voted, and what the sourced figures say. They disagree, and the disagreement is the interesting part. Neither is an assessment of anyone.
The fame board
What people voted
Elo rating, highest first. It records which name people picked more often. That is all it can record.

12 people have been voted on. The other 823 are unrated and are not listed here: an unvoted rating is the absence of a rank, not a low one.
The fortune board
What the money says
Ordered by the sourced figure, highest first.
828 of 835 people carry a figure with a source and a date; the rest are absent from this board rather than placed at the bottom.

The distance
Where the two boards disagree
A person’s place on one board minus their place on the other. It is a comparison of two lists — one of votes, one of published figures. It is not a claim about anybody, and it says nothing about how any fortune was made.

What the tiers mean
Tier is a label on the rating, not a separate judgement — it is derived from the number in the Rating column and nothing else.
