list of names part of 1%

As my contribution to occupy wall street movement, I want to collect the list of people who belong to the 1%. This list is going to be 3,125,380 (3M+). Well, that's a tall order to meet. We should give it a try - why not!! Who knows what we will see/get..

Couple of places to compile from
  1. Forbes list (potentially, Copyrighted material)
  2. sec filings
  3. How about property list (Zillow?)
  4. Political Campaign contributions

Bells and whistles:
  1. May be provide a wiki style for people to add/edit?
  2. Looks at what is spent (how about list of expenses - especially that huge for ordinary things)
  3. How to maintain this list as information changes. Can this change on a day to day basis when share market moves around?
  4. Why limit to US - why not expand to world wide
  5. How to differentiate family wealth from individual wealth
  6. How to differentiate office spending on wealthy individuals - as compared to personal spending (Example: President of the US & President of Exon fly to places with whole bunch of people with them. Do we include this trip in their personal income?)
