3. William H. Goodwin Jr. (=)
Richmond entrepreneur
It's more difficult to know where Richmond's baddest billionaire stands these days. After losing his longtime business partner Beverley "Booty" Armstrong to cancer last summer, Goodwin seems to have receded a bit in local power circles. But in the last year he re-emerged in the fight to build a regional children's hospital, which he's bankrolling. If he can get the project off the ground it will go down as his legacy. At his core, he's a no-B.S. entrepreneur (perhaps his greatest feat was selling AMF Bowling to Goldman Sachs for $1.5 billion in the mid-1990s). He and his wife, Alice, have given tens of millions of dollars to Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia.
