Old Donaldsonville land owners would be the correct answer

Leroy Thompson


He has not one, but two jets in a hanger at BTR. A Dassault Falcon 900 and Cessna 750.

Ok, so can we all agree that Leroy is the most wealthiest individual? Remember, he has tax exempt cold hard cash.

That is correct, Dr Mitchel lives in the gated yard in curve. Before he passed away, MP Evans was the richest on paper because of all of the land he owned. It didn't sell for close to what they listed it for. Now Robert is close to the richest if not the top dog. I would also throw in the LeBlanc family.

No there was just some dumb rumor that it was where they originally wanted to put it

They never wanted to. They had already bought all of the Reedy Creek property in FL under shell corporations. They used LA and VA to make FL give them bigger tax breaks.

Tom Benson was listed on the Forbes 400 as LA's wealthiest at 1.6 billion last year.

Forbes list is not accurate. Very hard to gauge the wealth of owners of privately held companies. Benson might be #4 at best.
