I think these numbers are low, especially in the south with self-made, privetly held oil and gas companies. Benson is the only person in LA listed by Forbes. I know of one family that sold off their company for over a billion. I’m sure there are others.

Want say who, but in his house there is, tucked away in the bar area, a crystal cylinder made by deBeers filled with liquid that contains a few dozen uncut diamonds.
It seems to be treated as some throwaway “knick knack”, like the typical OTer would treat a shot glass from the Floribama.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Benson isnt even the richest person in the state. With the oil downturn he has probably jumped some spots but he is still running 2nd or 3rd.

Founder & still primary share holder of one of the largest commercial real estate developers on the Southeast coast. Doesn't really live lavishly outside of the private jet he calls on a whim to take him golfing around the country

Amazing that there are only about 1500 billionaires in the world, Yet half of them are known by the OT.
