The karma vote strength hierarchy is explained here. If you go here and sort by karma, you can see who on the forum has the most. The most karma anybody has is in the 25,000 to 50,000 bracket — and that’s just one person, Linch, with around 27,600. So, Linch’s strong karma votes are worth 10 points (or −10). Most of the “karma bourgeois” are in the 8 point and 9 point brackets.[1]
Something I only just learned yesterday is that you hover over the karma on a comment or post (on desktop) or tap it (on mobile), it tells you how many people actually voted!
Although I do see there is an option in settings to hide yourself from the people directory, so I guess it’s possible some karma rich people are hiding themselves.
