Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson made her debut in this year's Forbes 400 list, an annual ranking of the wealthiest Americans. Benson is the only person from Louisiana to make the list.
Forbes, which released its ranking on Wednesday (Oct. 3), put Benson's net worth at $2.8 billion, placing her 298th on the list. Benson, 71, shared the 298th spot with three others on the list with equal net worth -- Oprah Winfrey; and California's John Fisher, son of Gap Inc. founders Donald Fisher and Doris F. Fisher; and Richard Peery, a California real estate developer.
