Vietnam vet rose to presidency of Enron, left in 1996 to start energy outfit Kinder Morgan with college classmate William Morgan. Bought Enron's sluggish liquid-gas pipeline operations; also bulk terminals, power plants, CO2 pipelines. Today Kinder Morgan owns or operates more than 30,000 miles of pipe. Also transports 2 million barrels of gasoline, jet fuel and petroleum products a day via Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. Stock up 180% since merging with publicly traded KN Energy in 1999, but Kinder pays himself just $1 a year. |
