Jim Justice II, $450 Million
Jim Justice II is foremost a businessman and later a politician. In 2011 he jumped into the Forbes 400 list with a net worth of $1.1 billion. That was majorly due to a massive deal of coal mines with a Russian company in 2009. His net worth, at its peak, was $1.7 billion.
In 2015 he repurchased the mines along with a few environmental obligations. Later on, a massive loan of $850 million further plummeted his worth which in 2022 stood around $450 million. He’s been serving as the Governor of West Virginia since 2017 while he continues to handle his cash flows primarily through business ventures.
