Went to Alabama, then moved to Lousiana and became a fluffer for the ever expanding Baton Rouge gay porn industry. I think he dropped his nuts on a willing LSU grad in NO once. Pretty sure it made the news.

Not my class , but a guy a bit ahead of me dropped out and ran away from home. Joined the navy. A few years later started a company that now has over 100 patents. I’m assuming a few are tied in with the military and defense contracts. Somehow his wealth just about doubled during covid. He’s now a billionaire with a B. I never heard of the guy until I read an article about him.

I was friends with a guy in high schools who was just a normal unassuming dude from Chalmette. He created some tech startup thing and a couple years ago made the news bc he sold it for $500M. Must’ve only been about 40 years old.


I bet you can’t beat his dads meat.

Have a few that inherited oil related industries from their parents. I get invited to fish with them a good bit. Not sure how much money they have but the boats are a few million a piece.

Another one was this quiet nerdy kid. He Bought a few rental properties when he was in college and now has over 500 units throughout the country. He has a large yacht and 7 seater private jet.

Was it you? When you posted as a female, you also dressed like one and started an OF account?

wouldn’t have pointed this out, but you twice misused “apart”.

“A part” is the opposite of “apart”. Your boy is a part of it. “Apart of it” can’t be right because “of it” and “apart” are contradictions, so this becomes an oxymoron.

“Apart from it” is how the word would be used, but as I stated, this is the opposite of what you meant


Man, apart and a part kicked my arse all college lol. That's just one of those things that I could never get right.

Runs a major pipeline company

Another guy a couple years old runs a pipeline supply company and an enviro service company. Plus other businesses that are around all that.

Both are ridiculously loaded.

One of my pledge brothers is a billionaire. Retired to the Hamptons. Made his money as a hedge fund manager and now has his own private equity firm.

Car Salesman turned Tract Home Builder. He said they made it too hard to rip old ladies faces off selling cars so he started building houses. He says it is still the Wild West in building houses.
