  • 56 Billionaires in Texas See Net Worth Jump $24 Billion Or 10.1% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 1, 2020 56 Billionaires in Texas See Net Worth Jump $24 Billion or 10.1% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic Meanwhile State & Local Government Services Face Deep Cuts as Congress Stalls on New COVID-19 Financial Aid Package WASHINGTON—Texas has 56 billionaires who collectively saw their wealth increase by $24 billion or 10.1% during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic even as the state’s economy was reeling from a huge spike in joblessness and a collapse in taxes collected, a new report by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). Three additional newly-minted billionaires joined the exclusive Texas club during the same period. Between March 18—the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and state economic restrictions were in place—and June 17, the total net worth of the state’s 56 billionaires rose from $238.9 billion to $276.3 billion, based on an analysis of Forbes data. Forbes’ annual billionaires report was published March 18, 2020, and the most recent real-time data was collected June 17 from the Forbes website. Fourteen Texas billionaires, including Michael Dell and Richard Kinder, saw their wealth grow by more than 25% during the pandemic period. Over roughly the same time, 2,400,000 of the state’s residents lost their jobs, 96,000 fell ill with the virus and 2,000 died from it. ​ ​ ​ ​ TEXAS BILLIONAIRES MARCH 18 TO JUNE 17, 2020 March 18 June 17 Real Wealth % Growth Net Worth Time Worth Growth in in 3 Primary Income Name (Millions) (Millions) 3 Months Months Source Industry Alice Walton $54,400 $53,307 -$1,093 -2.0% Walmart Fashion & Retail Michael Dell $22,900 $30,090 $7,190 31.4% Dell computers Technology Stanley Kroenke $10,000 $10,040 $40 0.4% sports, real estate Sports Jerry Jones $8,000 $8,060 $60 0.8% Dallas Cowboys Sports Andrew Beal $7,900 $8,798 $898 11.4% banks, real estate Finance & Investments Ann Walton Kroenke $7,900 $7,770 -$130 -1.6% Walmart Fashion & Retail Richard Kinder $5,200 $6,646 $1,446 27.8% pipelines Energy Robert F.
