The Richest Person in Every U.S. State

Todd Graves built his fortune by founding Raising Cane’s, a fast-growing fast-food chain focused on chicken fingers. Starting with a single location after struggling to secure funding, he stayed committed to a simple menu and strong branding. That focus helped him scale the business into a nationwide success.

These days, Graves is still heavily involved in the company’s growth, pushing expansion across the U.S. and internationally. He’s also become more visible through media appearances and philanthropy. Much of his time now goes into growing the brand while giving back through charitable initiatives.
