Didn’t feel poor enough? These are the 6 richest people in NJ

As the rest of us just try to get through another week in our decrepit little lives, where no matter how good your gross pay looks on paper, New Jersey manages to suck you dry, there are a handful who will never know what it’s like to be us.
