Of course it would be mere speculation here, but who do you think it is? Or, who is in the group of contenders? Does a Sanderson or Howard have Grisham money?

The Grisham thread prompts a question: Who is the richest MSU graduate? |

State grad billionaire on the list of richest Americans. In true Mississippi State fashion he doesn't give money to the school though. I've heard he
actually donates to UGA because he's a Richt fan.

Donated millions of dollars to evangelist Jerry Falwell's Liberty University 1990s. That from his bio on the Forbe's list |

and I'm telling you Liberty will be a major player one year. They have loads and loads of money with essentially no debt. The on campus student body is
almost as large as State's and the school is only 30 years old. They also graduate thousands more every year thru their distance programs. The Chic-fil-a
guy has them lined up to take on a boat load when he's gone. And get this, Liberty has a private high school on the college campus. It's the largest
Christian school in Virginia. If you go there 9th - 12th grades, you get a four year scholly to Liberty U. People have actually moved to Lynchburg to take
advantage.
And while we're on the subject, Patrick Spainhour, the CEO of The ServiceMaster Corporation is also a State alum and I don't think he cares very much about State. ServiceMaster owns Terminix, Truegreen LawnCare, Merry Maids, American Home Shield among others. The man is very rich, but I've never heard his name tied to State. I just happen to know he went there because I work for him...well several levels below him but you get the point. |

thats just as much if not more money than Dicky Scruggs (didn't Scruggs make almost a billion on the tobacco suit?), and Dicky donated millions to OM.
Byrne has got to get on that guy hard. Seriously, just sling us a couple of million dude, you seriously will barely notice it. Cocksucker. If I'm ever a
billionaire, which I won't be, I will give so much money to State it's gonna be disgusting.

Richad C Adkerson is the CEO of Freeport McMoRan and is a BS and MBA degree holder from MSU. Last year he was compensated over $85 million dollars and in the
previous five years made over $140 million. He is the head of the MSU Foundation and the Accounting school is named for him. He was also one of the honorary
spring football coaches.

What about Leo Seal? I know he isn't the wealthiest person but what do people know about the late great's numbers?
I wish we had a couple of Jim Barksdales lying around. The rich and generous with money types. |
