THE MONEY: In 1987, took over family-owned beef supplier business started by grandfather in 1920, and grew it multiple times over. It is now the fifth-largest beef producer in the country. Forbes reports the company brings in nearly $1.7 billion annually.

THE HOME: About two years ago, Davis snapped up an oceanfront home in Emerald Bay for $21 million, according to residential real estate trade industry reports. Has a primary residence in Nebraska and is reported to be one that state’s three most wealthy residents.
