I'm not reading this entire thread so this may have been tosses out there. The dude who started franchising Canes. A friend of mine said he saw him on a TV show about millionaires a few years ago. Owning a hot franchise can bring in all kinds of cash.

The Blossman family in Covington came to mind also. I don't know where they went to school but they gots all kinds of oil money, and oil money is good money.

Alfred C. Glassell Jr. would have been way up there.
He left the Houston Fine Arts Museum over a quarter of a billion dollars when he died
