In the charity business, they call them "hit lists." They are donors, and the lists are of the super-wealthy, like the Canadian Business Rich 100. Almost everyone wants to be eligible, but not everyone wants to be listed.

But the list position didn't do him any favours in 2003. He was kidnapped in the parking lot of his office, and then held for a US$5-million ransom before police sprang him after three days. One of the not-so-bright kidnappers had used Lampert's credit card to order in pizza.
