From OP's comment: I didn't even read the list and have no idea who's on it

He might not be interested in Forbes' list, but care about the reaction from the HN community. I see no contradiction.

From OP's comment: It's because age obsessions stem from this "cool list" narcissistic nonsense.

Do you consider these lists interesting? Are you happy when you see YC names in this article?

Sure. I learned a bunch of things I didn't know. I had no idea Spotify's valuation was so high, for example, and I didn't know people were using location in cryptography.

And sure, I'm happy to see YC alumni in the list. It's nice for them to get some recognition.
