Richest Man in Navy Has Hidden Texas Fortune
Eli Perkins, a sailor from Eastland Texas, owns an eighty acre farm now producing oil from a Sinclair Gulf lease. His royalty could be worth about three million dollars as wells multiply, but he remains unaware of the fortune while serving at sea. The farm’s royalty was partially sold for forty thousand dollars to fund future oil income. The 10,000 barrel per day well values each barrel at two two five dollars and promises substantial daily earnings if more wells come online.
