Just that she started in her home. Nothing bad.

But certainly the definition of self made.

Patrick Taylor’s widow is also a billionaire I believe and she lives in Nola afaik


She wouldn’t count unless she made the money. Pat made all money and died too early. Now she lives to spend it all or sleep on it stuffed in a mattress while she has shirtless body builders serve her every need.

While most of the oil business was sold off. Taylor Energy still owns one well that has been leaking since Katrina that has been a stubborn thorn in the side of environmental groups and an insurance settlement for the loss of the well that could add a few million back into Taylor oil fortune.

I don't know who that is, but I believe you. All that #metoo shite really fricked things up for the very silent majority of women who would much rather fast track and suck cock to get what they want.

Entergy had a vendor outreach thing last year, and I remember they did a vendor spotlight on a woman owned biz that was doing really well with them. I think she was out of Lake Chuck. I have no idea if her husband helped her get it started or not and I can't remember her name/company name. now that I'm typing I probably should have just not responded to the OP. lol. maybe someone else saw this and can help me out

Dad (Gary) and grandfather built the company into the empire it is today.

I don’t think Dionne would count either she decided to become an attorney and works as general counsel for Edison Chouest.

Same would apply to Ben Bordeleon’s mom Charlotte Bollinger.

While we are on the list of successful Lafourche Parish businesses, you could even add female members of the Rouse family to list of female millionaires that are millionaires because of their family businesses.

yeah I wasnt implying that Dionne was self made but she's one of the wealthiest females in Louisiana and Chouest OWNS Bollinger so there's that.

The Rouse's are well off but not in the same league

If that qualifies as putting in the work to earn the money, then Gayle's net worth is back on the table

We joke/shite on about billboard lawyers on here but I can't think of one who's a woman that is pulling in a $1,000,000+ a year.



That's not a lot of money man. The black injury lawyer in Bossier/Shreveport with all the commercials is for sure making bank.

Hell look at Livvy Dunne. She had millions in NIL and is killing it outside of NIL. She is self made.

There's a boatload of self made women in LA making a million+ a year.

Madam CJ Walker. She’s been dead but was a self made millionaire.



That's the black woman who was the owner of a beauty supply business and an author of a book instructing women hairdressers how to style women of color hair and supplying them with beauty and hair products.

I was watching "Antiques Roadshow" just yesterday and a woman had a first edition of her book and was told it was valued at $10K to $15K.
