Industrialist Ira Rennert, who built the 110,000-square-foot palace in Sagaponack, is on the list at $3.5 billion. Marc Rich, the wealthy Wall Streeter who lived in exile in Switzerland for 15 years to avoid an indictment until finally famously pardoned by President Bill Clinton, is at $1.5 billion. His ex-wife, Denise Rich, with whom he has remained friends through it all, has a house here.
Wilbur Ross, the industrialist and investment banker who has homes in Southampton and Palm Beach, is at $1.7 billion. Related's Stephen Ross, the skyscraper builder, is at $4.5 billion. And Vornado's Steven Roth, another skyscraper builder, is at $1.3 billion. Speaking of the letter R, there is no Rattiner on the list. There may have been one before, but if there was, he has dropped off.
