I could see a cabinet position and MAYBE a VP nod but yeah not a Presidential run...

I assume there are about 185-200,000 millionaires in North Carolina, maybe even more considering these results were taken in 2006, and our state is high on the number of millionaires list. Its number 13 during 2006.

Brian Moynihan CEO of Bank Of America (most likely)
Christopher J Kearney CEO of SPX
Lynn J Good CEO of Duke Energy (most likely)
Robert A. Niblock CEO of lowe's
Howard R. Levine CEO of Family Dollar (Probably not)
Daniel R Dimicco CEO of Nucor

Thats just a thought.
None of these people, with the possible exception of Mr. Levine, will ever be billionaires. Essentially all US billionaires either (1) founded their own company and control a large portion of the stock, (2) are hedge fund managers or (3) inherited wealth from #1 or #2.

I'd be surprised if anyone can come up with a name of a hired (non-founder) CEO that is a billionaire. There may be a couple but it is definitely the exception.

Delusional perhaps? Charlotte isn't kicking with LA, NYC, Chi, Houston, or any of them. You are talking top 10 population and wealth wise in the country. Yes we have fortune 500 companies, yes we have a billionaire, and yes we have a good bit of wealthy people, but if you think just because ole Pat is in there we are kicking it with the big dogs you need to come back to reality.

Nope, Houston and Chicago (mostly Chicago) are mostly the poverty of the US.

I don't know why anyone rich would want to live in this dump over the ritzy urban experience in Southend or Uptown.

It beats me why Taylor Swift moved there.

Yeah delusional it is. Chicago and Houston's economy are far and away superior to Charlotte. I know you are trolling and its fine but lets put this in perspective


GDP for 2014 in millions

3. Chicago 590,248
4. Houston 517,367








22. Charlotte 139,022


So again please I understand Repubs can do no wrong according to you but this isn't even on a level you understand I am afraid.

I'm not trolling, Chicago and Houston are highly populated compared to Charlotte.

Here's some proof-
Charlotte Demographics & Statistics
Chicago Demographics & Statistics
Houston Demographics & Statistics

Which says-
Charlotte average household income:$82,113
Charlotte average household networth:$527,606
Median home sale price for Charlotte: $178,437

Chicago average household income: $74,569
Chicago average household networth: $521,619
Median home sale price for Chicago: $168,269

Houston average household income: $71,160
Houston average household networth: $407,262
Median home ale price for Houston: $170,687

And the reason I say Chicago has alot of poverty is because when I went there I saw alot of homeless compared to Charlotte, and this was the average house, the suburbs were nice though-

And this is where your analysis is flawed. Chicago has a lot of wealthy suburbs, but the data you're showing only represents the city of Chicago. Charlotte, on the other hand, annexes everything it can get its hands on, areas that would otherwise (in a place like Chicago) be those wealthy suburbs outside the main city. If you did a comparison of the areas just within two or three miles of downtown to Charlotte, that would be more accurate comparison with Chicago.
