We'd like to send a big TLO attaboy to the offspring of Oil Overlord Harold Hamm!
These winners of the birth lottery are becoming official billionaires thanks to the generosity of their greedy father!
According to Bloomberg, Hamm – a MAGA-lover who's worked hard over the years to plunder our state's natural resources and make sure Oklahoma schools are as cash-strapped as possible – executed "one of the largest wealth transfers in U.S. history last week" when he gave each of his five little Hamms a stake worth about $2.3 billion in Continental Resources Inc.
Hamm channeled his inner-Logan Roy and gave this quote:
“I have said for a long time Continental is a company built to last,” Hamm said in a statement. “This process has been going on for over a decade with two primary objectives of proper succession planning and long-term continuity of the company.”
I have to admit, I'm a little jealous that I don't have parents to give me a billion-dollar stake in their company. Don't get me wrong – I guess it's cool that my dad's passed down to me a wide variety of paintings, leather masks, and caricature sketches over the years – but nothing's better than cold hard cash that I could use to buy Gotebo.
