Benson hits Forbes Billionairies list

Not to get too off topic, but wasn't Gary Chouest listed as a billionaire not too long ago when he was rumored as buying the Hornets before Benson? I guess the oil spill took a bigger hit than everyone else suspected.

No, I do not think he was listed (as his company is private and financial information not disclosed), but it was assumed he was worth that much.
