Alright, so you wanna know about this John Buck fella from Chicago and how much dough he’s got, huh? Well, lemme tell ya what I heard, gathered from here and there, ya know, like how we do in the village.
This John Buck, he’s a big shot in Chicago. Started some company way back in 1981, somethin’ called The John Buck Company. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Folks say he’s the head honcho, the chairman and all that. Means he’s the boss, the one callin’ the shots. He’s been at it for near ’bout forty years, they say. That’s a long time to be doin’ anything, I tell ya. Must be makin’ a pretty penny.
- He built all sorts of things, big buildin’s and such.
- They say he changed how some street looked, Wacker Drive, I think they called it.
- Made it all spiffy and new, I guess.
Now, how much money he’s got, that’s the real question, ain’t it? Well, nobody tells you straight out, you know? These rich folks, they like to keep their business quiet. But you hear things, ya know? Rumors and such. Folks whisperin’.
One time, I heard he sold his house, or apartment, somethin’ like that, for almost five million dollars! Can you imagine? Five million! That’s more money than anyone in our village has ever seen, I bet. And that was just one house, or whatever it was. He probably got more, lots more.
They say his company, it ain’t just in Chicago no more. It’s gone all over, even to other countries, they say. Buildin’ things, buyin’ things, makin’ money, I reckon. If you’re buildin’ all over the place, you gotta be rollin’ in it, that’s just common sense.
And get this, he even went back to runnin’ his company after a while, even though he’d been doin’ it for years already. Folks say he came back to fix things up and make even more money. Sounds like he knows what he’s doin’, this John Buck fella.
There was also this talk about him sellin’ some big apartment buildin’ for a whole bunch of money, like seventy-six million dollars! See? I told ya he was rich! That’s more money than I can even think about without gettin’ a headache.
So, how much is he worth exactly? Like I said, nobody knows for sure. But if you’re sellin’ houses for millions and buildin’s for tens of millions, and you got a company that’s been around for forty years, well, you gotta figure he’s worth a whole heck of a lot. Maybe hundreds of millions, maybe even billions. Who knows? But it’s a lot, that’s for sure.
He’s probably got more money than he knows what to do with. Maybe he buys fancy cars and big houses. Maybe he goes on fancy vacations. Rich folks, they do things like that, I hear. Me? I’m happy with my garden and my chickens.
So, there ya have it. That’s the story of John Buck from Chicago, as best as I can tell ya. A big shot businessman who’s made a whole pile of money. He’s one of them fellas who built the city, brick by brick, dollar by dollar. Good for him, I guess. As long as he ain’t causin’ trouble for the rest of us.
Just remember, this is all just what I heard, ya know? Village talk. But where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire, as they say.
