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


Names ????

So far there has been one top 10 family name listed. Benson isn't close.

He is probably #1. Definitely top 2.

When he was in the running to purchase the Hornets/Pelicans it was rumored he would be the 6th wealthiest owner in the NBA.

There is no dude dumbass. Malco is a family business out of Tennessee. The Robert brother-Harry, Al and Gayle own the shopping center.

And a player would be Leonce Millet.

Google him and see what he and his wife went through.

There's actually a fair amount of crazy wealth in Ascension Parish, but they don't show it off so you'd never know it. An old man who lives in a modest, dated 1400 sf house is a muliti muliti millionaire.

There's a family back on Laurel Ridge that owns their own 9 hole golf course.

There's another home with it's own private air field.

There's a plantation on river road, which was built by the richest man in the world back during the 1840's, which is owned as a private residence.

There's also a ton of old Donaldsonville money.

Who is the richest in st tammany


This is a better question. I know a few worth a quarter million plus but not sure who the top dog is. The richest man in the state has a address there but doesnt spend a lot of time at it.

10 billionaires that are not well known in the state?

I know of three that are worth more than Benson but another 6? Highly skeptical of that.

Grady Melancon cleaned up (illegally) when Whitney Bank bought out 1st National Bank of Gonzales in the 90s.

Probably worth more than anyone in Ascension Parish (off the books, though)

Sorry, I meant Will Clark, the baseball player. He lives in a gated neighborhood off Old Perkins.

Know him well, has plenty, but would not think he is in contention for Wealthiest in Ascension
