Probably....or they were born rich. In which case they will never really understand what it's like to not be insanely rich and then be insanely rich.

from the runners up position...

don't get me wrong, he has frick you money, but he's not wealthier than Benson... but he's a much better person than Benson, IMO, so that goes for something....

Gary Choest would have been the 5th richest owner in the NBA if his offer for the Hornets/Pelicans would have been accepted.

That puts him well above Benson.

would have

doesn't equate to "is"....

Benson has been the richest person in the state for a while now....

like i said... Chouest is solidly in 2nd, and for all we know, he may be extremely close... but Benson IS the richest... no "woulda" about it....
