The richest Oklahomans
Forbes has issued its annual list of the wealthiest Americans, and, just like last year, six Oklahomans made the cut. Again, Tulsa oilman, investor and banker George Kaiser (seen at left) leads the way with an estimated fortune of $12 billion.
The local rankings are little changed from last year. But tracking the fortunes of rich folks, particular rich folks who reside nearby, is always interesting. A stock market slump combined with sliding energy prices may have taken a bite out of some of these fortunes.
This shows the overall ranking, name, age, and origin of wealth:
20. George Kaiser, 66, $12 billion (oil & gas, banking).
42. Harold Hamm, 62, $7 billion (oil).
134. Aubrey McClendon, 49, $3 billion (natural gas).
155. Tom Ward, 49, $2.7 billion (natural gas).
163. Lynn Schusterman, 69, $2.5 billion (oil & gas, investments).
281. David Green, 66, $1.7 billion (Hobby Lobby).
