When you need information on America's wealthiest individuals, turn to The Rich Register. Featuring 4,700 individuals with a net worth greater than $25 million, The Rich Register is a who's who of American wealth. While famous billionaires such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are included, the real value is in the thousands of largely unknown wealthy Americans who are profiled -- from entrepreneurs to Internet moguls to heirs of decades-old fortunes.

Published since 1990, The Rich Register is America's only net worth-based wealth directory. Listings include office address and telephone number, wealth estimate, year of birth, alma mater, source of wealth, and a brief biography. The listings are arranged by state, and the directory is indexed by individual name, company name, and city. Also featured are various lists, including:

• America's wealthiest African-Americans
• America's wealthiest Hispanics
• America's wealthiest women
• America's billionaires
• A nationwide ranking of America's richest men and women (in order of wealth)
• A state-by-state ranking of the wealthiest individuals for each state (in order of wealth)
• Owners of professional sports teams
• America's youngest, wealthiest entrepreneurs

By its very nature, the world of great wealth is low profile and difficult to penetrate and track. The staff of The Rich Register is trained in asset investigation and valuation techniques and includes former investigative reporters for Forbes magazine's Forbes 400 listing of wealthy Americans. Information is compiled by individually investigating wealthy people through the use of public records, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Dun & Bradstreet reports, industry and business analysts and experts, and various private sources. Because net worth-oriented research requires intensive, case-by-case investigation, The Rich Register does not use mailing lists, computer matching programs or other mass information sources. The database is updated year-round.
