The Money List is a crowdsourced journalistic endeavor motivated by the ever-growing wealth disparity that plagues the United States and the wanton disregard for basic human needs in the name of shareholder profits and perceived power.

Our mission is to scrutinize and showcase betrayals of common decency and other egregious acts perpetrated by those in positions of power and influence in both the private and public arenas. Using the power of crowdsourced information and the speed at which that information can be disseminated, this public Wiki has been created and made available for contribution by citizens inspired to document, investigate, scrutinize, and inform others.

Citizen journalism is a powerful tool protected in America by the Constitution of the United States. So important was this power to the founders of the country that these protections were enshrined forever in very first amendment. In order to maintain a healthy and sustainable representative democracy truly accountable to the people, it is vital to gather, collect, share, examine, scrutinize, categorize, comment on, and otherwise document matters of public interest. We can think of no matter of greater public interest than that of the public's own continued health and prosperity.

Information is power.
