Relationship Science analyzed our list of the 400 wealthiest Americans and compiled data on all their corporate and nonprofit board memberships.  Google and MoMA come as no surprise; in fact MoMa has more 400 members (12) than any other board. But who'd have guessed that the Houston Rodeo and Conservation International would be so stacked at the top?
