Pickens, an Oklahoma native who was raised in Amarillo, amassed his fortune via a concept he figured out as a paperboy, according to archives. He expanded his paper route from 28 customers to 158 customers by buying out other delivery boys’ routes. It was the same proven theory he used to grow his oil and natural gas business that in time brought him a net worth of $950 million.
