My bet is the Chouest family and Edison Chouest Offshore.


My bet as well, specifically Gary Chouest. I've heard from reliable sources inside ECO that his net worth is in the $7-12B range.

Benson isn't even close.

The best thing about the Chouests though is that they haven't let the money change them. They are all incredibly down to earth nice people.

I mean, they do basically own all of Port Fourchon. As well as vessels and ports in West Africa, Brazil and I think SE Asia.

I'm sure they're nice but they do own a race track as a toy and tried to buy the Hornets.
