John, we can look at the "combined wealth" also. of Bill Gates, Reid Hoffmann,
George Soros, Warren Buffet. Gemini and Co-Pilot couldn't answer but Grok did.
These 4 are all D contributors in 2024. The politicians take camapign
donations to successfully win campaigns. In exchange for the donations, the
very rich get to make policies. This, then, is the American system. Payola!
Grok-3
What is the combined wealth of George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, and
Warren Buffett?Based on available data up to May 25, 2025, here are the
estimated net worths for each individual:
- George Soros: Approximately $6.7 billion, as reported by Forbes in October
2023. His wealth has decreased due to significant philanthropic donations,
estimated at $19 billion lifetime giving.
- Reid Hoffman: Estimated at $2.5 billion, based on recent Forbes data from
2024, reflecting his wealth from LinkedIn and venture capital activities.
- Bill Gates: Approximately $160 billion, as per Bloomberg’s Billionaires
Index in March 2025, slightly trailing Warren Buffett.
- Warren Buffett: Approximately $161 billion, according to Bloomberg’s
Billionaires Index in March 2025, boosted by an $18.7 billion gain in 2025.
Combined Wealth Calculation:$6.7 billion (Soros) + $2.5 billion (Hoffman) +
$160 billion (Gates) + $161 billion (Buffett) = $330.2 billionThe combined net
worth of George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett is
approximately $330.2 billion. Note that these figures are estimates and subject
to market fluctuations and differing methodologies from sources like Forbes and
Bloomberg. For real-time updates, you can check Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index
or Forbes’ real-time rankings.
--For the wealth of Congressional politicians I asked this question.
Do Congeressional Politicians do Insider Trading?Yes, some congressional
politicians have been accused of insider trading, though definitive proof and
convictions are rare. The STOCK Act of 2012 was passed to curb this, requiring
lawmakers to disclose stock trades within 45 days and prohibiting trading on
nonpublic information gained through their positions. However, enforcement is
spotty, and loopholes like "blind trusts" or family members trading on their
behalf can obscure violations. Data from 2020-2024 shows unusual trading
patterns by some members of Congress, with high-profile cases like Senators
Kelly Loeffler and Richard Burr facing scrutiny for trades during early
COVID-19 briefings. Investigations often fizzle out due to lack of direct
evidence or political influence. Critics argue the system still allows
lawmakers to exploit privileged information, as their disclosure reports often
show suspiciously timed trades outperforming the market. On the flip side,
defenders claim these trades reflect normal market activity or personal
financial decisions, not insider knowledge. The truth likely varies case by
case, but the lack of transparency and accountability fuels suspicion.
John, so The Magic 8-Ball sez YES!
By the way, I thought the collective plan here was to hang-on till AGI gets
running, and, or, Kurzweil's life-enhancing Bio-Bots hit our bloodstream? Let
me know if there's been a change in plans?
Ciao

No, none of them are in Trump's administration. The combined wealth of Trump's
inner circle is at a minimum $428 billion, while the combined wealth of
president Biden's cabinet was only 118 million, about 3000 times less. Trump
himself was not a billionaire when he first got into office back in 2017, but
thanks to corruption he sure as hell is one now. And one of Trump's many
billionaires is Secretary of Education and professional wrestling heiress Linda
McMahon, she's so educated in a speech she kept referring to AI as A1 (like the
steak sauce) over and over again.
