Business Insider · 1y

Autry Stephens, the 85-year-old oil tycoon who recently sold his company Endeavor Energy Resources for $26 billion, is set to become the richest oil tycoon in the US. However, he has expressed mixed feelings about leaving the company he founded in 1979, stating that he will miss the people there and that it was like a little family. Stephens, known for his unassuming style, credited his success to being open to new ideas and technologies. The sale has catapulted his net worth, making him the 77th richest person on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
