BILLION  SELF-MADE SCORE: * SOURCE: REAL ESTATE AGE: 85 RESIDENCE: BEVERLY HILLS, CA PHILANTHROPY SCORE: Sterling was a trial lawyer before pivoting to real estate in 1963, buying a West Hollywood apartment house. He has been lambasted for alleged housing discrimination and, in 2018, was accused of unfairly attempting to evict veterans. In August ESPN released a five-part podcast series revisiting the scandal—involving racist remarks he made to his mistress at the time—that led to Sterling being forced to sell the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team. His wife, Shelly, told ESPN that Sterling now feels like he “fell off a tree and . . . landed on a pile of gold.”
