I think this may have been true before the oil price crash of 2014, but I'm not confident it's still true.

I don't think Favre is rich as Gayle Benson.

It's absolutely Gary Chouest. Most people are oblivious because they don't flaunt it like the Benson's.

If he wanted the world to know his net worth, he'd be on the cover of Forbes next month.

Gary could write a check to buy Gayle Benson's net worth.

From 2018

you guys are thinking small. chouest is up there, but think about the guys that pay him. Gerry Boelte owns a company outright that makes more in a week than some of your picks make in a year.

The richest person in Louisiana is an Kuwaiti prince that lives in NOLA. He graduated from Tulane. He owns about 20 businesses the 2 major being an oil company and a telecommunications company. He makes a good 10 Billion a year just off the oil company.

Again, the Chouest family goes to great lengths to keep their affairs private. I can assure you their net worth is wayyy over 2.9 billion.

The Davison family from Ruston


In college I interned for ole Rodney Alexander in DC. Mr. Davison Used to fly cases of Ruston peaches up to DC and Rodneys office would give them to the other members. It was a feeding frenzy during that time every summer. Good people.
