American entrepreneur Gerald Dowden has an estimated net worth of $50 million. He currently resides in Shreveport, Louisiana along with his wife, Kitten, and their four children, Valerie, Chantel, Gerald Jr., and Thomas.
Dowden began accumulating his estimated net worth of $50 million when he worked in a construction firm for forty years. Later, he ran his own business that provides him with more than enough. He tends to his 38 hunting dogs and drives around his 80-acre compound using his souped-up Polaris ATV, in his boxer shorts. His two sons now manage the family construction firm while his two daughters work as a paralegal and a beautician.
The Dowden family was lucky enough to know that their home is built above the ground where the fourth largest deposit of natural gas in the United States is situated. With this, they receive monthly checks between $100,000 to more than $1 million. The family is also the subject of the reality series Bayou Billionaires shown on the Country Music Channel. It follows their daily lives and how they deal with their new lives of being wealthy.
