Darn! Just missed it.

[Of Sound Mind]

He may be for now... at least until his divorce settlement...

the divorce is off

[Pete]

Yep, heard from a good friend of the Hamms that the divorce is off, which is why the has been no news on this front for a while.

Remember, the two of them have gone through this several times in the past and are still together.

[ou48A]

Also of note and coming in at #222 is Tim Headington with $2.5 billion
He lives in Dallas.

[Pete]

And of course, Aubrey McClendon and Tom Ward are both long gone from the list.

Wouldn't bet against either returning at some point, though.

Maybe her allowance was bumped up. Kind of like a NBA, NFL, or writers strike, threating divorce is all part of the negotiation process. lol

Just out of curiosity, why is Tim Headington pertinent to OKC Talk?

He tends to send good portions of his money to Oklahoma.... His name is showing up on multiple building at OU.

The recently completed dormitory on the campus of University of Okla called "Headington Hall" was name after him. He is a graduate of OU and he donated $10 million towards the project!

He was an OU tennis player back in the day.

Just think...for every $1 that CLR fluctuates, Hamm's net worth fluctuates by a little over $185M dollars.

Is that not just insane...I would bet the total net worth of the active participants on this forum is less than than $200M. To think that Hamm's net worth sees routine changes in that dollar amount shows just how amazing of a company this man has lead over the past 46 years.

[Pete]

Also of note: Boone Pickens dropped off the list after being #360 last year.

You might be surprised that it's more than 200 million.

[Teo9969]

You might be surprised that it's more than 200 million.

I do imagine we have some wealthy active participants on this forum. But I would imagine that at least half of the participants are worth less than $1M and the ones that are worth quite some money...well, getting to $1M is not so difficult...getting to $10M...that's another story. Unless there is an active poster worth $50M I'm doubting it.

That's certainly possible, but being active on an internet forum and being worth $50M are probably not particularly common.

[Just the facts]

And of course, Aubrey McClendon and Tom Ward are both long gone from the list.

Wouldn't bet against either returning at some point, though.

They are still on the list of the worlds 1400 billionaires.

I have to find something to do with my free time...

[Just the facts]

Mark Zuckerberg would beg to differ.

Hamm needs to buy into the Thunder...

Probably have that chance to pick up the sponsorship that SandRidge dropped.

not correct!

[ou48A]

Also of note: Boone Pickens dropped off the list after being #360 last year.

Famous oilman T. Boone Pickens, meanwhile, lost his billionaire status, with an estimated net worth of $950 million.
Falling “natural gas prices made Pickens’ wind energy investments tank in value,” the magazine said. Pickens’s net worth fell under the $1 billion mark for the first time since 2005

Hamm is probably more of an outdoorsman.
He likes huntting, fishing and reading as hobbies.
I have never heard of him liking football or basketball all that much?
