He owns a bank as well as a number of investments in oil companies.
He controls the largest investment in Solyndra.
He bundled campaign contributions for Barack Obama and probably will do that again in the future...

Let’s see Mr. Kaiser’s tax returns for the past ten years, Dingy Harry. I’m certain it would be much more interesting than Romney’s. And while we’re at it, let’s publish Jeffrey Immelt’s (head of GE who head’s BO’s business advisory board) and see what percent of tax on income he paid.
This guy sounds like a younger Goerge Soros:

Can the Kaiser fortune be traced back to Standard Oil in the 1930-40-50s when Obama’s great grandfather Rolla Charles Payne was negotiating mineral right leases in Kansas and Oklahoma for the company? Is you find any connections to the company during that time, please freepmail me.
It is possible that money being scarce, Payne took a very small (one tenth of one percent) of future production of the wells he negotiated in lieu of payment for his work. That income would be hidden in a sealed family trust.
Rolla’s daughter (BO’s grandmother) was head of the Escrow/trust department in the bank she was VP. She was also his guardian shortly after Rolla died and his will was probated.
IOW The billionare is more than a bundler, but is also a business partner.
