awarded a contract to build the new Johns Hopkins University Hospital to the tune of $573 million, Clark is one of several fi rms rebuilding the Springfi eld interstate highway exchange. Still not impressed? Clark has had a hand in some 400 big name builds in and around the Washington area, including seventeen metro stations, FedEx Field, the MCI Center, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the USAir Arena and PSINet Stadium for the Baltimore Ravens. If Clark had been in “Field of Dreams,“ he would have built that one too.

NEIL COHEN

The CEO of District Photo (and son of Marvin), Neil bought, grew and sold Snapfi sh (a major online photo service) for more than a few pretty pennies. He continues to helm the company, which processes pictures and sells ancillary items both online and via the “concept retail store” he opened in Alexandria in 2004. He and wife Marcy are also quite active with Jewish causes and give generously to health and educational charities. As the old saying he was recently heard paraphrasing at a CharityWorks fundraiser goes: “no one ever went broke giving to charity.”

KENNETH FELD

The big man of the Big Top, Kenneth Feld made his money sending in the clowns. Forbes cited this owner of famed Ringling Bros. Barnum and
Bailey Circus as worth $725 million in 2004. Being a ringmaster involves a certain amount of leger-de-main, and Feld’s been accused of shilling the public in the form of sending a private eye to investigate PETA – guess he’s trying to protect his lion tamers. A reporter named Jan Pottker alleges that Feld, wary of a family history she was working on, had her under surveillance for eight years. Neither charge was proven. As of 2007, Feld will be producing the iced-out version of rabidly popular teenybopper show, High School Musical. His achievements
and the Netherlands (the second) and infamous 19th century robber barons (Jay Gould, the fi rst’s father). K3 is in the real estate and parking garage business; he runs Parking Management Inc., which owns and operates more than 100 such parking facilities in the Washington area. He’ll be best remembered for stubbornly sticking to his guns on a lucrative little piece of land next to the Convention Center -- valued at $68 million, this was one parking lot with which Gould III was reluctant to part. A prolifi c political donor, K3 has given generously and

have recently been noted with an induction into the International Circus Hall of Fame.

KINGDON GOULD III

Close associates of Gould affectionately call him K3, which sounds like a remote climbing destination but refers to his being the third in a line of illustrious Kingdons. They’ve been New York fi nanciers (the fi rst), ambassadors to Luxembourg

consistently to the campaign of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. He also sponsors the arts and community through the Shakespeare Theatre Company, the National Building Museum and Living Classrooms.

JOE KAMPF

Although his name roughly translates to “struggle” in German, Joe Kampf’s tenure as CEO of Anteon International Corp. pretty much
eliminated his daily grind. The years from 1996 to 2005 saw countless dotcom bubbles burst, but under Kampf’s reign, Anteon kept rising. As fi ts the current mode of technologyoriented government contractors assembling, Voltron-style, Anteon was acquired in 2006 by General Dynamics for a cool $2.1 billion cash – Kampf ’s million shares in Anteon translated to about $59 million. His 2002 KPMG High Tech Entrepreneur Award, therefore, could not be more apropos. He also serves on the board of directors of the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts.

TERESA HEINZ KERRY

Baseball may be America’s national past time, but ketchup is most defi nitely its national condiment. As heiress to the Heinz family fortune, Heinz Kerry may aid and abet the mass consumption of fries, but she’s a conservationist at heart. Sitting pretty in a 23-room, $5 million town home in Georgetown in addition to numerous other residences, she doesn’t need to play “catch up” when it comes to generosity; Heinz Kerry is famed for her philanthropy with much to be said for her visionary outlook toward solving complex problems in education, the environment and social welfare. She is married to preeminent political fi gure Sen. John Kerry – who, legend has it, wooed her with his semifl uency in her native Portuguese.
