Can't be legit.

The walmarters in Missouri have got to outrank Bass Pro Shop guy. Hell, I'm pretty sure the Columbia Kroenkes are worth more than Bass Pro guy.

Well Bernie Ebbers and Dickie Scruggs were worth more than that before they got locked up.

Also, while she doesn't live in MS, Oprah is from MS, and she's worth several billion.

Those anti-Americans prolly have their shite off-shore.

This list is likely based off tax payments.

37 billion for an heir is entirely too much.

I think the Kroenkes have a lot of their assets in corporations, it's not "personal" money. Well, it is, but you know. Tax shelters and all.

Ann and Nancy were Bud's kids anyway, I don't think they got quite as much as Sam's kids. I would expect they're in the same category as Augie Busch IV and that level of money.

Wiki says Kroenke is worth 4 billion. I wonder why he wasn't included in the Missouri numbers.

I wonder if some of his net worth is tied up in ownership of his franchise teams, and if that doesn't count somehow?

This is incorrect, he is number 2. The richest is Alice Walton at $33.5 billion.

I'm guessing it is. He was pretty well off before hooking up.
