摘要：
A number of researchers have studied the wealth distribution of the Forbes 400 lists (for example, Klass et al. (2006)). They argue that the wealth is Pareto distributed. We ask the question: does the Pareto distribution really give a statistically adequate fit? We find Other distributions giving statistically adequate fits. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
