Until he sold them he had several Cheeze Burger in Paradise restaurants. He turned Margaritaville into a brand and had casinos, hotels, cruizes, etc. His estimated net worth at the time of death was $1 Billion dollars. Not bad for a guy who never had a number one song.

Found a old 60 minutes piece on Jimmy. I’m in awe of his high energy performances. He knew how to work a crowd into a party atmosphere. I can easily imagine how exhausting that had tobe as Jimmy grew older. His business empire is even more impressive. He made a lot of money since the 2003 hit with Alan Jackson introduced Buffett to a new audience.

I don’t think it’s that hard, once you have a certain reputation … → self fulfilling prophicy and all that with the parrot-heads … ---

thank you… Last Saturday I went fishing w/ my older brother. He gave me my first Buffett album. We listened to a copy of it while fishing, didn’t catch a damn thing, but it was such a good time. ---

I’m totally going to buy that and put an “A1A” vanity plate on it. Just have to run it by my banker first… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rip-jimmy-buffett/989495.md?page=3)
