February 2000: "A few TEDs ago, John Brockman began hosting
an annual Millionaires' Dinner in honor of his acquaintances
at the conference whose net worth exceeded seven figures. But
rising equity values prompted Brockman to rename his party the
Billionaires' Dinner. Last year, Steve Case, Jeff Bezos, and
Nathan Myhrvold joined such comparatively impoverished multimillionaires
as Barnes & Noble's Steve Riggio, EarthLink's Sky Dayton, and
Marimba's Kim Polese. The dinner party was a microcosm of a
newly dominant sector of American business." — Gary Wolf,

January 8, 2001: "These days, it's open season on the Web.
Where that will take us now is anybody's guess, but it won't
be back to headier times, says John Brockman, a New York literary
agent who became known in Silicon Valley over the past several
years for throwing an annual "Billionaires Dinner".....He
wants to change the name of the event. "This year," he says.
"It's the 'Joy of the Ordinary Income Dinner.' .....Bon appetit
and pass the Rolaids." — Kara Swisher, The Wall Street
