Funny story. He used to play poker a lot. He worked on that bread recipe for his poboys for 3 years before he finally got it right. He gets wonder bread to specially produce it for him. They don’t divulge how it is made. He had a mistress and when he died of cancer, his wife took the place over. She hated him for cheating on her

If we’re talking richest overall, it’s definitely Bill Dore and he’s lapped the field a few times.

Spook lives elsewhere but his son is in Lake Chuck in the mansion. They own shite all over the world.

Most of the old money moved away.

I'm laughing my butt of at some of those mentioned on the first page being included.
Nic Hunter? seriously? Lawd I've known his dad, Chuck, since we were in elementary school together. He was a good guy with a little twist. Not even close to big money there.

His grandfather was sort of the Godfather of Lake Chuck. I laughed the day I saw he and his twin brother trying to put the make on twin girls who lived across the street. They were like chihuahuas trying to get a piece of a collie.

Not top 5 unless a lot of money is gone.

Nanette Noland ended up with the most money from the Weber King family,but she has lived in Baton Rouge for a decades. The King family once had the most CDs in banks in the state, they were plentiful.

Lake Charles proper, or all of Calcasieu parish? Besides the Lawton’s, probably other large land owners with oil/gas leases and wetland mitigation money. Is there a high $ law group still around like Baggert/McCall/Burgess? Maybe not top ten, but Casey Daigle/Jennie Finch have to be up there, probably more from Daigle’s family money than any MLB contracts or Finch endorsements.
