Residence: Beverly Hills, Calif.
Ever-rising price of “Texas tea” contributes to the hillbilly billionaire’s big bottom line. Clampett Oil courted disaster when an oil tanker spilled 20,000 barrels of crude in the Gulf of Alaska last June: “I’m mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees,” owner Jed said in a press conference, firing CEO Milton Drysdale on the spot. “If brains were leather, he wouldn’t have enough to saddle a june bug.” Clampett’s mother-in-law, “Granny,” led successful cleanup effort, personally “wet-moppin’ and spitshinin’” several hundred miles of seashore. Featured in The Beverly Hillbillies television series and films.
