In Washington, being poorer than Jeff. I think the creator of the quiz messed up the description as it looks like this is only the richest people in each state.

I've updated the description. I hope this one's clearer.

As for Bill Gates, I'm not sure what criteria they used to find their wealth, but I think Gates has made a lot of donations in his life, so maybe he did drop behind Bezos.

Too much time - you can guess most states. I think it should be 1 minute of 45 seconds.

Oh, it was Sheldon Adelson, not Anderson - and he passed away.

Ok, I reduced the time and fixed the typo.

This data is from 2020, when he was still alive, so he'll be here until I update this next year.
