Then you have not seen enough insane things. Jimbo was not in the top 50. There is a lot of difference between netting $3.5 M per year after taxes for a.few years and having long-time family wealth.
How much land does ted own? I went to his web site to see he is the second largest land owner in the USA.
Jimbo was up there.
I want to know who owns this behemoth in golden eagle

I have a friend that is a real estate agent. I sent him this house and he said Ricky Carmichael owns this house. He is the motorcross racer that is from Tallahassee.
He's living the
He's living the dream now. Loosing 6 billion had to hurt though!
They look similar from the outside, but your friend is thinking of a different house
Carmichael's is about 20 minutes south on Lake Hall

Agree that’s not Ricky’s house posted earlier in thread. His house is off Thirlestane rd just south of High Grove on Thomasville. There’s a few other high dollar houses on Lake Hall.
The Overstreet property was donated by the Maclay, Fleischman, Mettler and Davenport Family. Those are the names I know of in that clan. There may be others, but not the Phipps.
Not accurate, the original 300 acres (give or take) which included the 28 acre garden was donated by Louise Fleishman Maclay in 1953. The Overstreet property was purchased and Phipps certainly involved. I’ll get better details when I’m back at work but Overstreet was not donated at all. Click this link and read intro.

And you forgot to mention that some blonde lady took half of Jimbo’s juice 2 years ago.
Whoa dude, Dot may be a Shiek or a Sultan, but he is not a Mohammad!
As has been stated by several, the Phipps family and it’s not even close. Not only are they far and away the wealthiest family in Tally, they are one of the wealthiest families in the US. You’ll find them on top 50 lists with a little google research. My grandfather (who lived his life in Tally dating back to the early 1900’s) used to tell the story that you could fly from Miami to NYC and never lose sight of Mr. Phipps land.
I read over
I have a hunting lease in Wacissa near his place and saw him one day in Bolins Store. Getting up there in age. A friend who is a Timber Track Real Estate guy said he had an appointment with him some years ago when his office was in Atlanta. This guy told me you would have to go through 3 offices to get to him there but here he was one day by himself in Bolins Store.
A reported 2 million acres in US and Argentina. I know he's a crazy lib but he loves the outdoors and open spaces. He works hard on restoring and improving what he has and shares it with others.

would be hard to believe but possible .. they have done million and million of dollar in renovation the last 5 year at the plantation
I was told that but I read an article that said he spends more time there than anywhere else. So that doesn't sound like it's full time. He did say in the article that loves the climate and it's a good place to grow old.
The one on Apalachee Pkwy right down the street from the Moon? That’s the only one I knew of. I used to work there. Started off on pantry, moved to the front and worked as a host, then head host, then made the “big bucks” as a server. Used to bank after FSU football games. Got fired for drinking on the job as I was training to bartend...good times, missed that place.
Of all the small hole-in-the-wall towns in Florida dude said Clewiston. Almost spit my drink out when I saw that. Shout out to my hometown! Thanks for the mention!
To give you an idea of their circles, John Mettler exchanged property in Texas with his friend John D. Rockefeller for property in Wyoming. Texas property had oil....but the Wyoming property had a really good view of the Grand Tetons!
This house was originally designed and owned by Andy Haggard, a huge Seminole fan, who lives in Miami. Andy sold the house.
Tallahassee has quiet wealth. You have a number of families who inherited a lot of land (Plantations) and wealth but you would never know it. They'd tell you they are land poor. They prefer duck boots and camo rather than Armani and pickup trucks to sports cars.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple of dozen families with that kind of net worth if you consider Quincy Coca Cola money and the plantation owners up into Thomasville Georgia.
