A in addition to B vs B in addition to A

Hi everybody,

Can someone please tell me if there are any differences between the 2 structures: A in addition to B and B in addition to A?

For example:

_ In addition to being Batman, Bruce Wayne is a millionaire.
vs
_ In addition to being a millionaire, Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Does the first sentence put more emphasis on the fact that he is Batman?

Thank you very much.

Lev Landau Does the first sentence put more emphasis on the fact that he is Batman? No, it is the opposite. The main point is in the main clause, near the end.
