Richest Person in Missouri for 2025 Suddenly Worth $9.3 Billion

As the calendar turns from 2024 to 2025, there's one person in Missouri that will not be suffering from inflation as the net worth has zoomed to a staggering $9.3 billion dollars.

I saw that Forbes 2024 billionaires list had just become Forbes 2025 billionaires list and that includes some real time updates to the wealthiest in the world. No offense intended toward the rest of the world, but I'm only really interested in Missouri and it didn't take long to find one from the Show Me State in their list.

Who is the richest person in Missouri?

It's John Morris from Springfield, Missouri who found his fortune when he began BASS Pro Shops back in the day. According to Forbes newly updated billionaires list, John is now worth a crazy $9.3 billion dollars. It looks even cooler when you add all the zeroes - $9,300,000,000.

One of the awesome things about Johnny Morris success is he's given much of that wealth back with his philanthropy. The Johnny Morris Foundation is all about conservation. He's making big efforts to get kids faces out of device screens and into the great outdoors to enjoy nature. John also advocates for sportsmen's rights and protecting wildlife.

Wanna hear something else wild? With his $9.3 billion dollar net worth, John Morris is only the 249th richest person in the world. The saying the rich get richer is very much true, but at least the wealthiest guy in Missouri is trying to make his world a better place.
