If you eat at Raising Cane's then you have helped this man climb the ladder of the billionaires club. The 270th richest person in the world is the creator of Raising Cane's Todd Graves. He is worth $9.1 billion.

Graves is the perfect example of why you should never give up on your dreams. This is part of his biography on the billionaire's list:

His professor gave his idea (of opening a chicken restaurant) the lowest grade int he class and he couldn't get bank financing, so he worked as a boilermaker and salmon fisher to save up cash.

Eventually, he poured all of that saved-up money into his idea, and he was able to secure an SBA loan. For a company that he started in 1996, he has been successful even though his LSU professor told him he would never succeed.

Coming in a little lower on the list, but nonetheless, she is a billionaire is Gayle Benson, the owner of the New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Pelicans, and other businesses.

This lovely lady is worth $6.1 billion. Benson inherited the teams from her husband, Tom Benson, who died in 2018, but she was always business savvy. She worked from the 60s to build her own livelihood.

She did not start in sports. Gayle was an interior designer who started her business in that industry in the 1970s. She later diversified with real estate and thoroughbred horses.

Gayle and Tom Benson married one another in 2004.
