A Rich List That Matters

We're accustomed to stories about the world's richest people. But inspirational speaker Tim Richardson is compiling a list of what he calls the REAL richest people in America, those who are rich in good deeds. Nominees for the first list include a hurricane Katrina survivor whose organizing efforts have cleaned up 250,000 pounds of trash in New Orleans, the founder of an organization dedicated to eradicating poverty, and a flight attendant who puts together missions to deliver supplies to children in need.
