120 of 160 here, knowing maybe 10% of the people presented.
Not rich, but lucky

120 out of 160, the only one I didn't know was Jay-Z. I am about the same age as one, I think, and definitely poorer than all of them.

150, I thought Britney Spears was richer than J. Lo.

Garnett/A-Rod is a good one, I'd like to see the numbers on those, they have to be close on both.

I got A-Rod-Garnett right. But I guessed.

Based on my score, I'm smarter than all you guys.

Drawing erroneous conclusions, realizing it and still maintaining unwarranted smugness anyway,

I got 110 out of 160 by taking uneducated guesses.

150/160. I was almost perfect but I went with the pattern of one richer- the other younger and chose Julia Roberts as richer than the Olsens against my better judgment.

I made the same mistake. I also made the A-Rod/Garnett mistake, getting me a 140/160. I make more than all of them put together, anyway.

100 out of 160.

Oh well, I don't follow much of modern culture these days, even though I work at a TV station.

Who were those people?

90 but I reckon I only knew about half of them. I also thought Britney was richer than J-Lo and was surprised the Olsen twins were richer than Ms. Roberts. The Olsen twins didn't feature here years since that sit-com and now we've got their books and movies; lucky us.

I got 13 out of 16. I attribute this relatively honorable score to good guessing of who was younger. For richness, my strategy was to guess that the party I had heard of (when I had heard of one of them) was richer. When I hadn't heard of either of them, I guessed younger and richer for the same person. I hadn't heard of most of them.

90/160 on several mere guesses. I haven't heard about a whole lot of these people but since they obviously are among the lot where age and wealth count as important matters, I'm not very sad I haven't!

140. I have no idea how old Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. are, and I thought A-Rod was richer (and am somewhat amazed that he isn't).

None of the rest were surprises in terms of age or income. Big celebrities vs. celebrities who are also entrepreneurs.

I got the A-Rod one wrong too.

According to baseball-reference.com, A-Rod's made about $100,000,000 in baseball salaries. Garnett made $28.5 mil alone last year, his ninth in the NBA, and I'd guess he makes quite a bit more from endorsements so it's really not that hard to believe.

Yup, you've gotta live with that now!
And you know, I would have been *proud* to be at the bottom of the list!
