Comments? I don't think much of this. It is basically a set of ego strokes for the "world class" necons who are running the country at the moment. This is how they see themselves and has very little to do with how complex societies operate.

So, husker, the only ones I can think of that this might "fit" would be Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Are there other prominant Champions I am overlooking?

Unfortunately, there are many with wealth that do not follow this list, so am I correct in assuming "World Class" is therefore distinguishable from the "Wealthy Class?"
