The teen oilman who became an investment tycoon
Edwin L. Cox, one of the last true oil tycoons, passed away in 2020.
Like most of his generation, he had humble beginnings, in Arkansas. His father was a wholesale grocer and banker.
At the start of the 1920s, he saw the potential of the oil industry.
In the same year that Edwin was born, Cox Sr. set up an oil company in Oklahoma. His son joined it while in high school.
