Number one on our list of Montana billionaires is none other than Dennis Washington.  Now here's a guy that started with a $30,000 loan that has turned into over 6.5 billion dollars in wealth.  Washington used the money to start a construction business at age thirty and in five years he became the largest contractor in Montana.  His highest level of education is a high school degree.  Today he also owns a copper mining company, and at least three yachts.  His lead yacht,  Attessa is worth an estimated $150,000,000 alone.
