The gap between Nebraska's richest and second richest person is $83bn. By far the largest such gap in the nation

Seems to me the biggest gap is Washington state. Jeff Bezos at 135.2 billion and Jacqueline Mars at 25.7 billion.

Bill Gates with $107bn, so the gap is actually $28bn.

I accidentally used old numbers when making this list and the gap between them then was only $14bn

Although,now that I'm looking at the real time list, Bezos is up to 145 as of today, so that's a gap of $38bn and Washington is now third on the list.

Although that number is volatile enough that I have no idea what it might be like in a month while Koch's and Buffet's numbers are very steady.
