re: Louisiana has 77 people that have a $100,000,000+, who would you say is on this list?

If no one said his name already, he needs to be up there

Keith Myers- owner of LHC Group

Didn’t realize this but LHC Group started in 1994 and already has over 35k employees. That’s ridiculous

Just in Lafourche Parish he owns overs 47,000 acres. That's not counting Terrebonne where he owns a good bit also, over 3,000 acres.

Hes sold out cenac twice. Once to Enterprise and once to Kirby, both times for nearly $500,000,000. Hes a very wealthy man.

That’s what I’m saying. No one sells large tracts of real estate in Louisiana. No one wants to lose their mineral rights. If we had it set up like Mississippi and the rest of the county people would sell for economic development and still be able to hold on to mineral rights for lifetime. One of the reasons Louisiana is so stagnant.

You’re a fricking moron.

Sold to Enterprise for over $500mm and to Kirby for $245mm. Dude is loaded

He still owns Main Iron Works

Richard Lipsey.

As I stated above the number of folks worth in that neighborhood is next to impossible to track with any accuracy.

First, when folks are worth that much their finances are usually quite complex. Most are not simply holding a million shares of one stock. They have assets that are are varied. They have complex liabilities for tax purposes that make even a guess at their true worth a tough exercise. So, outside of the NSA putting a few thousand people on this with the power to dig through private finance records and then employing another thousand forensic accounts to analyze it, no one would have a list like this. Even the Forbes 400 is mostly a guess. Some like Gates are easier to guess because they own so many shares in a public company they have to report. Many like the Koch's are impossible to guess with any accuracy. Some left off probably have a team of attorneys and CPAs that work purposely to keep their name off the Forbes 400.

As to which state they live in, there are folks here worth that much that are here more than anywhere else but do not live here according to tax records. They have a house in a place like Florida or Nevada where there is zero percent state income tax. Or in a state where estate laws make a better transition of wealth.

Ok,cool

Except there are these things called taxes, agent fees, etc.. not to mention pro-athletes have to pay the “jock tax” aka more taxes in the visiting state games they played in.

Most pro-athletes actually see approximately 35-45% of their contract/endorsement money once it’s all said and done.

There’s also this thing people do with their money called investing. 40% of 215 million is still 86 million. You think that just sits in a savings account?

He made a lot more than that when you add endorsements from some of the largest companies in America.

Thank goodness he got better financial advisers when he came to New Orleans and diversified with some deals where he did not have to risk as much of his own capital (Franworth, Title Boxing, Jimmy John's, Surge, Walk-Ons, Dunkin' Donuts, Happy's Irish Pub, NINE and Waitr which will be a good writeoff). A few more diamond purchases and he would be Latrell Sprewell.

I worked there for many years and just knowing what some of the other owners made there is no doubt he is well into the 100s of millions

And his prison time was back when it was still Club Fed so it was worth it.
