William Alfred Cook A.K.A. (Bill Cook) Is the owner of Cook Pharmica, based in and around Monroe County Indiana. You can visit their website here to see the business and what exactly they do - www.cookpharmica.com .

He also owns real estate and gambling concerns in his French Lick, Indiana casino operation.

Current net worth: $3.5 billion as of Sep. 30th 2009, A loss of 1 billion dollars from 2008 when he was worth $4.5 billion. Although I also found occasions of reporting where he was worth "only" 3.2 billion, this variance is most like due to the recession.

Most billionaires have lost money since the start of the 2007-2009 recession. In 2006-2007 there were over 1100 billionaires. Today there are less than 800 billionaires. The number of millionaires on the other hand continues to increase and the number of them hasn't declined as billionaires have. On a side note one reason the number of billionaires is decreasing is because they have become millionaires.
