About Me
In 1959 Edward Bass and his three brothers inherited $2.8 million each from oil tycoon uncle Sid Richardson. The brothers parlayed their inheritance into multi-billion dollar fortunes with the help of bets on oil and pipelines that paid off big. In early 2017, Bass and his three brothers sold their oil company to ExxonMobil for $5.6 billion in stock. Future payouts could total $1 billion. In 2018, Bass pledged $160 million to refurbish the Peabody Museum at Yale University. Bass owns Sundance Square, a 37-block area of downtown Fort Worth dedicated to historical preservation and community building.
