Forbes released their list of The Richest Person in Each State. Looking at it, I know of a handful that are graduates from SEC schools. How many others are there on the list?

Thomas Frist Jr. - Vanderbilt - $8.2 Billion (Tennessee)
Charles Ergen - Tennessee - $18.2 Billion (Colorado)
Garry Drummond - Alabama - $980 Million (Alabama)

Tom Benson is from New Orleans...but oddly enough went to college in Australia

I'm surprised Benson is #1 and not Gary Chouest

Mr. Drummond received a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Alabama in 1961 and also holds an honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Alabama, awarded in 1983. He was a member of the University of Alabama Board of Trustees from 1983 through 2001 during which time he served three years as President pro tempore. Mr. Drummond was the University of Alabama College of Engineering Distinguished Alumni Lecturer for 1987-88 and University of Alabama Department of Civil Engineering Outstanding Fellow in 1987. Mr. Drummond was presented the Keith-Woodman Award in 1987 and established the Garry Neil Drummond Endowed Chair of Mining at the University of Alabama in 1985.

I love the Waltons. Sam Walton personified the American Dream. Walmart is the best company in world history.
BUT---Jim Walton's education at Arky had much less to do with his success than his name. That's all I'm saying.

A Mizzou grad is responsible for all the Walton wealth - richest in Arkansas and Texas.

RE: TOM BENSON
Ed Hakim might have something so say about that.

I think Chouest is worth more than Benson. But his company is private so their is no real way to know hoe much Gary is worth
