Bass Pro Shops made a Missourian a billionaire and left two cities hanging

  • Johnny Morris is one of Missouri’s few billionaires

It turns out that Missouri has another billionaire: Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris.

Bloomberg News on June 3 dispatched a rare profile of Morris, a 65-year-old who is not keen on media attention.

In fact, Morris wasn’t keen on finding his way onto Bloomberg’Äôs list of billionaires, with his estimated net worth of $2.8 billion.

“Being included on your list is not my favorite thing,” Morris reportedly told Bloomberg in a handwritten letter. “But then again, things could be worse.”
