Every state in the USA has to have one, right? A "richest person", that is! Well, Forbes magazine has compiled a list of the richest folks in all 50 states. So, can you name the wealthiest person here at home? And how about the neighboring states?

Head east and you'll hit Mississippi, the home of Leslie Lampton, a self-made billionaire who came to his cash through oil and chemical refining.

What about Texas and Arkansas? Well, in those two states the Walton family reigns. In the Lone Star State, Walmart heir Alice Walton leads the way, and in Arkansas, brother Jim comes out on top. Both are worth more than $30 billion!

The richest person in Louisiana is New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner, Tom Benson, worth a little more than $2 billion. Benson, another self-made billionaire, made his fortune in auto dealerships, banks and , of course, sports teams. And for anybody who thinks they couldn't do it, too...Benson started out as a bookkeeper at a dealership he eventually owned.
