Richest Woman in Texas Wealthy Ranch Queen of Vast King Estate
Mrs Richard King, widow of Captain Richard King, heads a Texas ranch empire larger than some New England states. The 1 250 000 acre estate near Corpus Christi spans 40 miles of water front with 300 miles of fences and 65 miles of driveable land. She maintains two palatial homes, built a branch railroad to Corpus Christi, and oversees about 200 000 head of cattle with 20 000 horses across remote fields and wild terrain. Her fortune, once valued at millions, grew from her late husband’s ventures and remains largely untallied while she lives simply and handles a sprawling monarchic domain with prudent restraint.
