The Frists – $11.9B
The richest man in Tennessee is none other than Thomas Frist, Jr. He was born into a family of medical professionals, so it makes sense that he and his father started the Hospital Corporation of America during the late ‘60s. The business went over the billion-dollar mark in only a couple of years. From then on, they chaired massive businesses like IBM. Frist actually made the largest buyout in US history back in 2006. First left the company to Billy back in 2009, but even then he already cemented himself as a leading figure in the modern healthcare system of the United States.
