the sad thing is that we will never know,
the red shield, the rock sewers, it's none of them,
but if you want to have a glimpse of the 0.01% world, just listen to what they themselves have to sayhttp://www.npr.org/blogs/paralle…
"... The 250 people from around the world invited to attend this one-day conference do not represent "the 99 percent," or even the 1 percent. It's more like a tiny fraction of the 1 percent.
"We have $30 trillion of assets under management in the room," says conference organizer Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who runs E.L. Rothschild, a major investment firm she and her husband, of the storied Rothschild banking family, founded in 2003.
That amount — $30 trillion — is roughly one-third of the total investable wealth in the world. If money is power, then this is the most powerful group of people ever to focus on income inequality...."
- you read it right, that's 250 people worth about 1/3 of the entire's planet's investable wealth...GeorgesII
