Those people have a lot of money. Not sure I would characterize any of them as old money except maybe Kleinpeter. BR doesnt really have old money in the same sense as New Orleans or even Shreveport. Some old money Shreveporters look down on the Querbes family to this day because their ancestor made his fortune running a saloon in the 19th century.

By contrast BR has had debutantes whose grandfathers were plant operators.

They do over $200 million in revenue from the car dealerships alone. That's not counting real estate. Plus he's one of the main reasons why the state has recently exempted car dealerships from any increase in their inventory tax.
