Biltbobble Family

The Biltbobbles are known as the Shire's wealthiest family, owing their massive fortune to heavy involvement in the oil, mining, and pharmaceutical industries. Amassing their fortune was spearheaded by the famous Cornelius Biltbobble, the son of Floffwym Sammichians Zachary and Cordelia Biltbobble, born on March 22nd, 1802. From a young age, Cornelius expressed a keen interest in the arts and creativity, but these interests were suppressed by the industrious and superficial attitudes of the Floffwymites. Despite disapproval from the community, Zachary and Cordelia approved of their son's passions, and spent nearly all of their savings to send him to boarding school in Fulfwotz where he could hone his artistic skills. His painting was so revered, that he earned a fair living painting portraits for wealthier members of Fulfwotz society. A business magnate simply named Foie Gras commissioned over 450 paintings from Cornelius, and in return taught him the in-and-outs of the business world. Upon his death, Gras left his apprentice a large sum of money, should he ever want to start his own. The money could not have come at a better time, as Cornelius was attacked by a mountain lion while painting in the Demmatrodine wilderness, and lost his right hand. Although his artistic career was over, Cornelius began investing in various companies with Gras's money, and eventually started his own mining company. Today, Biltbobble Industries has over 75 subsidaries, such as Biltbobble Pharmaceuticals, Omega Mining Company, Demmadorra Architecture, and is a chief benefactor of fine arts and education institutions across the Shire. In 2014, the Biltbobble family's fortune was valued at $80 billion SPB. not done pls go away
