The whole Nike benefactor to Oregon got me to thinking - anybody know who the richest (Financially speaking) LSU Alumnus is?

Probably not the richest, but he is up there...Dr. James Andrews

He is busy helping AU and bama though.

Can't be Shaq. I see the highest net worth figure on him is under $300 Million. We have to have somebody near the billion $ amount... right?

No way of really knowing, but Jim Flores has made bundles. Lod Cook has made bundles. The Pennington family made a whole lot. Patrick Taylor was supposedly extremely well off.
And yes, Shaq has been in the league for almost 20 years now and has made millions on millions on endorsements, tv shows, as well as in the NBA.

Quite possibly. I imaginine Oscar-winning composer Bill Conti is pretty well healed as well.
Dr. James Andrews is probably amongst the top ten as well as Kip Knight, the VP of EBAY.

We have no idea how he has invested his money. If smart and or lucky he could be way up there. If he hasn't invested well then he is just filthy rich, but not one of the richest.
