The Richest Person in Every U.S. State

Philip Anschutz made his fortune by investing in oil and gas during the early stages of his career, later expanding into railroads, telecommunications, and entertainment. Known for spotting opportunities early, he built a highly diversified empire that includes major stakes in sports teams, arenas, and live entertainment companies.

Now, Anschutz keeps a relatively low public profile while continuing to oversee his wide-ranging investments. His company remains deeply involved in sports and entertainment, including ownership stakes in teams and venues. Much of his focus today is on maintaining his business portfolio and supporting philanthropic efforts.
