Carl Cook

Lee Gay at 156 with $10.1 billion.

Carl Cook at $187 with $8.8 billion.

Rhonda Stryker at $241 with $7.1 billion.

John Brown at $251 with $6.9 billion.

Sort these 15 people by how they made their money, and the pattern is almost comically clean.

One hospital operator.

Five people whose fortunes trace to distribution and supply, meaning Medline three times over, Kinray, and arguably Cook if you count the consumables side.

Five device people, meaning three striker heirs and executives, Carl Cook and Reinhold Schmieding at Arthrex.

So Mackenzie Foy, Zosia Mamet.

We had Jessica Springsteen and Carl Cook.

And Beth Behrs.

We have Diane Lane, the Compton Cowboys.
