This is a Wikipedia project for the advancement of articles about rich people. Its goal is to build encyclopedic entries on extremely concentrated material wealth, namely to document people and small groups throughout history that accumulated immense wealth—why they did it, how they did it, and what they did with it. The project is coordinated to address a lack of Wikipedia coverage disproportionate to the amount of soft power wielded. If you would like to help, please read on, perhaps sign your name below, and see the to-do list below.
