    the list is only for AMERICANS.

    though I'm sure the Russian's cash is stashed in secret anyway so there would be no way to know how much he really has.

    This random website says he's worth $13.5b. That would put him #2 behind Paul Allen. Funny what a large gap there is between those 2 and the others. #3 DeVos is worth less than half those 2.

    Uncle Les will "scape" by. A billion here, a billion there, what's the difference?

    $42million? That's like 2 years worth of Dwight Howard or 6 new locker rooms with team shower wiener walls! Leslie needs to get his priorities straight and spend all his money on the Rockets.

    Shoot I'm just trying to save up to get a million. These dudes have like 4,000x more that. Makes it seem like having a million shouldnt be that hard to attain.

    From all reports it seems that Les make a ton of money from the Rockets. I don't know how much he's losing from CSN, but assuming that's fixed he should have quite a large revenue anyway. And the team isn't going to be paying that much taxes until at least 4 years later. So its not really an issue not

    Cost accounting for the locker room should be dollars per wiener wall. Just saying.

    These Forbes lists are estimates based upon data that is publicly known. So it is easy to estimate the net worth of a person that started a public company, you know how many shares they own and the price per share.

    Privately wealthy people are much harder. There are many more billionaires in Houston that you'd know because their money is tied up in private assets, especially oil and gas people.
