sb arms & legs

What are folks thoughts on the veracity of information from #Forbes and #bloomberg? I know #MichaelBloomberg is estimated (by Forbes realtime billionaires list) to be worth around $105 billion, yet he does not appear on his own realtime billionaires list.

Forbes I know less about. Their estimations often run higher than bloomberg - especially for #musk.

I'm trying to decide how to reconcile the differences in estimations between the two: favour one over the other, or average the two for a somewhere inbetween.

While on the subject, I'm always curious how certain billionaires have managed to stay off all those lists, even though they qualify - namely all the #irving #mccain and #cooke billionaires in my home province of #newbrunswick.

@sb It's kind of like choosing between cionide & arsenic, both are poisons that can definitely kill you but if taken in small enough amounts won't really do you any harm, but neither should be trusted as "safe" either and similarly Forbes & Bloomberg lie most of the time on pretty much everything.

Forbes has had the "neocon" bias set & Bloomberg the "neoliberal" bias set but as I can't tell the difference lately between a neolib& a neocon.. I think it best not to consider any notable differences to exist.
