A very good man. No one's given back more. He once said that he thought he was put on earth to make money and give it away. RIP Mr. Pickens.

My favorite Booneism is #4 “There are 3 reasons we can’t do it. First, we don’t have the money, and it doesn’t make a damn about the other two.”

[@theroldan8675]

maybe he was the only person in the whole history of the planet that could carry with him, all of his money to the other life.. lol

OIL IS NOT FOR THE WEAK...it is the Earth's milk, and only the strong can suckle at Mother's teat.

[@Gheorghe99]

Don't you worry - one day you will be soaring to such heights also - 6 feet under I mean- Good luck!

[@devonrusinek5807]

@@Gheorghe99 Definitely not what I was referring to. He bootstrapped and scaled a successful business. It's quite commendable.

RIP.. mAY satan comfort his soul!!

@@theroldan8675 - no one knows what is in man's heart. My point was that no matter how wealthy one person is, when he/she dies, we all go to the same place, a 8 feet long by 2 1/2 feet wide hole in the ground home. There is no room for fancy cars, airplanes or boats. Death is the great equalizer - poor or rich, all became dust again. The poorest homeless alive person is better off than the richest dead person. "Anyone who is among the living has hope --even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!" Ecclesiastes 9:4

Oil baron named Pickens dead... I'm starting to think Adam Driver was responsible

T. Boone Pickens certainly was wrong about his predictions on oil prices in the past five years. Dead wrong.

[@Happy2NotBU]

Cool One where is your hedge fund douchebag? CNBC won’t be talking to your irrelevant ass ever..

[@Stoneface_]

How about now?

[@Burps___]

@@Stoneface_ He was still wrong in 2019, exactly as the comment indicated. Predictions do not have an unlimited shelf life New prediction: Oil prices will again plunge when US deregulates oil and starts drilling. See you in two years!

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

Pickens is hiding right now. Why rush eternity.

[@Toobz20]

That nat gas bet absolute 🔥

[@stepabove2136]

Wander if he was kin to slim Pickens?

[@mdillon4366]

To CNBC: Let’s not forget that this,”American”,was one of the first rich individuals to do a hit job on a Veteran in public office (John Kerry),while never taking the time to serve,themselves. The second: Ann Coulter(Max Cleveland). The third,trump(John McCain). As a Veteran,I say,”One down,two to go...”👍👍👍
