Once a sleepy South Louisiana city, Lafayette became a place where, as one longtime resident put it, oilmen would take helicopters to go get hamburgers. In 1981, with one in 15 Lafayette families boasting a net worth of at least $1 million, the New York Times labeled it the city “of a thousand millionaires.”

Sad to see the kids dragged through this as well


To be fair nick and zach were down to earth for the most part and were well liked by most people growing up. May have gotten sucked in by the family crazy after they grew up unfortunately.

The list of things the one brother bought was flabergasting.


Knight Oil Tools had 4000 acres of some of the best deer hunting land in the state located in Avoyelles Parish. Had it all high fenced with a full time range rider. That is some serious cash flow.

Yeah I always knew they were wealthy growing up with them. Zach was always down to earth and never really flaunted it. It sucks all that shite happened.
