Louisiana has some quiet rich folks.
Some have never even heard of Goldring. Check out his liquor empire: www.sazerac.com

Gary chouest is nearly a recluse and is very private about his wealth. His fleet assets are estimated to be over 2.5billion alone. His shipyards could be nearly a billion. His ancilliary businesses could be b/w 500-1billion.

Gayle is worth over 3billion.

There’s a few families with combined wealth over 1billion.

Yahoo and everyone else doesn’t know what Chouest is worth. His business is all family run, he has never went public

Aren't most of his boats tied up down in Fourchon? He's been bleeding money last couple of years.

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.

That would be the world's wealthiest list. This is just the world's richest.

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

Pretty sure the rest are under 1b.


You didn’t even name the richest.

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.



Gary certainly has assets worth well over $5b but his net worth is way way less than that. The boat company is in big trouble.

Does Gayle Benson own the Saints and Pelicans outright? Where do the San Antonio Bensons come in?

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"


It’s something of an Illuminati/Jews Control the World trope. There is only one Rothschild left who is known to be a billionaire.

The Rothschild bank itself is a relative pipsqueak in its industry now.

Many have married into other wealthy families and the like (kind of like the Rockefellers), but their individual wealth isn’t eye popping. Too diffuse at this point.

Define "big trouble" because if ECO is in big trouble than so is every other OSV operator on earth

That's why all of these "richest" lists all tend to be filled with new money. Old money is quiet and doesn't want the world knowing its business. I once heard that the art collection of the Rothschild family is worth more than Bill Gates entire net worth.
