Doesn't the Tabasco (McIlhenny) family always creep into these threads?

I'd imagine the guy from Covington that owned Pamlab is doing pretty well also. I never heard the exact figure on the Nestle purchase but it had to be a ton.

Richest Woman -
Christy Walton, who inherited a stake in retailer Wal-Mart, retains the title of world’s richest woman. The widow of John Walton has held that spot for five out of the past six years. FORBES pegs her net worth at $41.7 billion, up from $36.7 billion a year ago.

and, of course, WYHI?

Benny is loaded, prob top 10 in the state, but I don't think close to a billionaire.

Tabasco has a lot of wealth spread out to a lot of family.

What about the Penningtons?

Love how old man Pennington (assuming he is still alive) has that house on Acadian across from TJ Ribs, always with security outside.

I shot a movie at the Pennington Estate on Highland. Nice family. Don't know how you can have that much money.

Are you the SIL that shot that monster deer last year I think it was? Either way I am big time jelly if you get to hunt his property.


Negative. But I should be making a site visit to his property within a couple months

Benny owns everything from Golden Ranch to lake des allmends. Plus Cenac Towing is running again. I would bet he's within 200M of billionaire status




Everybody sleeping on ol' lady Taylor too.

Trust me. I'm very aware of what he owns.

He also just bought Main Iron Works.

Doesn't make him a billionaire.
