 * 5) The Pastors - Pastors of Pentecostal churches are sometimes wealthy.
 * 6) The Old Money Class - These individuals inherited their wealth that has run in their families for generations.
 * 7) The Super Rich - Many individuals in this class would be classified as wealthy, even in wealthy countries.

The names are arranged alphabetically in each class, using the first name to select rank. The ranking does not correlate to net worth.
