Nah you can’t donate like that and be worth 25 million. Gotta be a hundred or so. You could say he is spinning off firm profits to donate and offset income but that would also mean his firm is worth a bunch too which should jack up the 25 million net worth number. I guess he could blow extreme amounts of money each year on football and cars and shite but one would assume he is a better steward of his finances than that if he was able to accumulate that level of wealth,

I'm sure he is worth some decent money but I think his nil contributions got way overblown.

I would think to have a leer jet your NW is going to be into 9 figures.

That is my guess as well. Probably not giving a mil a year. To do that responsibly you have to be worth a number larger than most people realize.

I don’t think it’s a Leer. I’ve only seen a couple interior pics of his jet but I’m guessing it’s a mid or maybe super mid - think something like a Challenger 350.

Depending on if it’s new or used the purchase price is $15-20MM. Crew costs are all in $300k a year or so and the operating costs depend on hours flown. Annually he is probably spending $1.5-$2MM all in on the plane. That doesn’t take 9 figures net worth especially while still running a law firm of any size.

He’s worth far, far more than 25 million.

Much less than I would have thought. They show Morris Bart at $60M

Yea, everyone’s asset allocation is different. You could buy a jet like that being worth fifty but you can’t have vacation homes, a garage full of cars and the other fun stuff. To have all of those and the jet he would need to be closer to a hundred or above. Now, he could also be levered to the hilt and paying notes on the jet, cars, house(s), etc and if the law firm closed he would go bankrupt. That’s why it’s impossible to really speculate.

Those are usually pretty far off. Unless it’s a public figure then they can’t get a full picture and it’s a stab in the dark.

No denying that but he seems like a decent, very charitable guy and was one of the first ones to hop on board the NIL train giving opportunities to ALL student athletes and not just football.

Agreed - his firm alone is worth 25 million-- also a lot of the money he is writing off as marketing and would lose it to taxes anyway. it's firm money aka his money because he is the only true owner/partner

How is he leaching off of LSU athletics? He gives them money, not the other way around.
