I figured Harold Hamm was one as well.

Glad to see Aubrey got back on the list, he took a big hit and went to like 600-700mil when he got cash calls for stock.

Our empathy definitely goes out for him and his rough experience in the last year. I'm sure he's sick and tired of ham and cheese by now..

[rcjunkie]

I still can't believe I'm not on this list, oh well, there's always next year.

[Thundercitizen]

Missed it by $182.37.

[Bjbholloway]

Harold Hamm was number 136 on the list at 5.5 billion. Strange that the Oklahoman would leave out the 2nd highest Oklahoman.

[Spartan]

He's an Enid guy, right?

[Jethrol]

Hmm...guess Forbes doesn't know 'bout me. gonna hafta make some phone calls and educate them...be right back.

[ThePlainsman]

He's an Enid guy, right?

Yeh man, he is a Plainsman. He's the founder and CEO of Continental Resources and really honest to goodness self-made success story. And, tough, but a helluva guy too. I thought it a major oversight that the DOK left out Oklahoma's number 2 billionaire as well. Him and George Kaiser are far and away our most wealthiest.

I can't wait to see the next attempt to be clever in this thread..

Spartan, would you like to buy an ancient indian burial ground near I-40? i'll sell it cheap

[Spartan]

And there she be.

[fuzzytoad]

And there she be.

is that a yes? you can drive under it.. there's a tunnel

[Spartan]

It better not be across I-40 from Downtown OKC. If that's the case, then no thanks..

[fuzzytoad]

It better not be across I-40 from Downtown OKC. If that's the case, then no thanks..

why? are you racists towards downtown OKC indians and their historical monuments?

[Spartan]

No, but if there was a Downtown OKC Indian Tribe, I would definitely be one of its warriors..



And they would call me Walker, Downtown Ranger .. not to confuse cowboys with indians.

Harold Hamm was number 136 on the list at 5.5 billion. Strange that the Oklahoman would leave out the 2nd highest Oklahoman.

Apparently an editing mistake or oversight, they ran this on Saturday

No E.K. Gaylord on the list?

[Jethrol]

No E.K. Gaylord on the list?

He died

[Urbanized]

In 1974.

[geterdone]

I wonder what guys like Bob Funk, Larry Nichols and others are worth. Why hasn't Mr. Nichols ever been on the list.

[kd5ili]

Why hasn't Mr. Nichols ever been on the list.

Uhm...maybe because he is not a billionaire? Just venturing a guess...

No E.K. Gaylord on the list?

No, Gaylords aren't even close. Same with Funk and others.

[Spartan]

Funk's ex-wife, maybe...
