Chouest is worth around 5b.
Gayle is 3-4b.
Sam Davison is a little over 1b.

Pretty sure the rest are under 1b.




And how would you know these peoples worth?

I may or may not have have known someone or maybe myself had been privy to this information while a certain NBA team was up for grabs or maybe not. Hell, maybe it was a second or third hand account of the information. That's good enough for an impeachment inquiry, so its good enough for the OT.

Menard's store? If so, I like those stores. Good for him.

until someone makes a public offer for Chouest, hard to know what Chouest is worth. Most publicly traded OSV boat companies are way down in value.

Chouest is richer than Benson. He is around 5B.

Goldring may be richer than both.

The person who told me chouest info is worth around 1B and knows him. Sane guy is friends with holding but has no clue how much he is worth. apparently bill is tight lipped about that stuff.

He lives in NOLA. The higher ups in his business are in Chicago or Louisville.

For the record Bezos is NOT the richest man in the world. Not even close.

If the Rothschilds were listed individually they’d take up the top 50 spots.

But they don’t want you to know that. And certainly don’t want you to know the means of their wealth.

Combined before the oil crash they probably were in the 10-15B range.

Goldring is the correct answer here.

I find it interesting that the 2nd richest American doesn't make the cut. That's what living in Washington with Bezos will do I guess.

Haven't most of them removed themselves from their wealth generating streams?

Thought I saw some documentary where the current generations had abandoned the "family business"
