One Idahoan shows up on Forbes list of world's billionaires

Robert Earl Holding
Forbes Magazine's list of the world's billionaires came out this week. Being naturally curious, I wanted to see if there were any Idahoans on it. There was one, Robert Holding, 86, of Sun Valley, founder of Little America and owner of the Sun Valley and Snowbasin resorts, as well as Sinclair Oil and lots and lots of land.

You can read the Forbes profile here: http://www.forbes.com/profile/robert-holding/#. Or I can save you the time and list a few bullet points:
  • Education: Bachelor of Arts / Science, University of Utah
  • Marital Status: Married
  • Children: 3
  • Known by his middle name, Earl
  • Net worth: $3.2 billion
