    When this first started in The Sunday Times they got a phone call from a man who was annoyed he was not mentioned. Next year he was in the rich list and the year after. When new journalists took over the writing they went looking for examples of his fortune and found it did not exist.

    I'd say so.
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.
