View Full Version : Richest in each state.
Some were obvious, like Bill Gates in Washington ($78.8 billion) or Warren Buffett in Nebraska ($70.2 billion). Other states, like Delaware, involved a little more digging by journalists Dan Alexander, Kerry Close, Maggie McGrath, Chase Peterson-Withorn, and Rebecca Spalding. (Robert Gore and Elizabeth Snyder from Gore-Tex hold the title of Delaware's most wealthy with $675 million). To settle on people, the journalists not only looked at public records but also valuations of private assets, like oil wells and coal mines. On the list, 40 of the wealthy people are self-made, leaving only 10 as what Forbes refers to as "do-nothing heirs."

When the **** did Larry Ellison get so valuable?
Also Tom Benson didn't get to be worth 1.9 Billion because of the Saints, that's bad journalism

Anytime you see people on tv doing those conference panels from different areas of the world..... That's what made him rich.

Saints are worth $1.5B according to Forbes...that's the bulk of his net worth
he bought the team for $70M in 1985.

Oh I knew he was wealthy as **** but I would have guessed he had half the money that article claims he has

Plus I imagine that's listed because that's what he's known for. Cuban isn't rich because of the Mavs either but that's how everyone knows him.
Storage units.... could have been anyone.
