Now name what % he owns in all those companies. He doesn't own 100% of all those companies.

Just to give you an idea of how much money that is:

$1,000,000 - That's a lot of money. Probably more money than most of you plebs on TD will ever make in your lifetime. This amount of money would be life-changing for 95% (conservatively) of the entire population of the country.

$1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000

That's $10 million. That would make you in the top .1% of people living in Baton Rouge based on net worth.

This is what $100 million looks like:


$1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000 $1,000,000

Multiply that times 12 and you get Tom Benson.

Billion is a big word. People exaggerate the wealth of certain folks. Fact is, there just aren't many billionaires in this state. $1.2bil is an obscene amount of wealth for this states economy.

With all the PC crap and rules changes, the NFL has become almost unwatchable...that is what the sig means. No agenda, just showing you how GREEDY Benson is. I grew up hating the REDSKINS, but with all the PC crap and the liberal AGENDA against them and Dan Synder, I kind of hope they do well.

Shut up and pay your state taxes. Benson needs more money to donate to get his name plastered all over the city.
