Question: What is the net worth of the inventor of the Swift Boat Challenge?
Context: Thomas Boone Pickens Jr. (born May 22, 1928), known as T. Boone Pickens, is an American business magnate and financier.  Pickens chairs the hedge fund BP Capital Management.  He was a well-known takeover operator and corporate raider during the 1980s.  As of November, 2016, Pickens has a net worth of $500 million. This is the list of Pakistani politicians by net worth as per the media reports and asset declaration.  As of 2008, former president Asif Ali Zardari is the richest Pakistani politician with net worth of US$35 billion and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from Sharif family is 2nd richest for having net worth of US$30 billion.  MNA Noor Alam Khan is also among the richest with assets worth US$800 million in 2013. Timothy Lee "Tim" Blixseth (born 1950) is an American real estate developer, record producer, songwriter and timber baron.  He was a co-founder of the Yellowstone Club in Montana.  In 2006, Blixseth was featured in the Forbes 400 List of wealthiest Americans with a net worth of $1.3 billion.  However, based on court records from his 2009 divorce, news reports estimated his 2011 net worth to have dropped to $200 million.  By 2012 he faced a forced bankruptcy for failing to pay Montana $57 million in income taxes and in 2014 he told the courts he was "too broke" to pay pending judgments and contempt findings for his fraud role in the Yellowstone Club bankruptcy. The term swiftboating (also swift-boating or swift boating) is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an unfair or untrue political attack.  The term is derived from the name of the organization "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" (SBVT, later the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth) because of their widely publicized—and later discredited—campaign against 2004 U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry. Asset poverty is an economic and social condition that is more persistent and prevalent than income poverty.  It can be defined as a household’s inability to access wealth resources that are sufficient to provide for basic needs for a period of three months.  Basic needs refer to the minimum standards for consumption and acceptable needs.  Wealth resources consist of home ownership, other real estate (second home, rented properties, etc.), net value of farm and business assets, stocks, checking and savings accounts, and other savings (money in savings bonds, life insurance policy cash values, etc.).  Wealth is measured in three forms: net worth, net worth minus home equity, and liquid assets.  Net worth consists of all the aspects mentioned above.  Net worth minus home equity is the same except it does not include home ownership in asset calculations.  Liquid assets are resources that are readily available such as cash, checking and savings accounts, stocks, and other sources of savings.  There are two types of assets: tangible and intangible.  Tangible assets most closely resemble liquid assets in that they include stocks, bonds, property, natural resources, and hard assets not in the form of real estate.  Intangible assets are simply the access to credit, social capital, cultural capital, political capital, and human capital.

The Swift Boat challenge from Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens was his reported offer of $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge made by the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, formerly the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, during the Presidential election campaign. Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, formerly known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), was a political group (527 group) of United States Swift boat veterans and former prisoners of war of the Vietnam War, formed during the 2004 presidential election campaign for the purpose of opposing John Kerry's candidacy for the presidency.  The campaign inspired the widely used political pejorative "swiftboating", to describe an unfair or untrue political attack.  The group disbanded and ceased operations on May 31, 2008. Björgólfur Guðmundsson (born 2 January 1941 in Reykjavík, Iceland) was the chairman and former owner of West Ham United FC.  Björgólfur was Iceland's second businessman worth more than a billion dollars — his son, Björgólfur Thor Björgólfsson being the first.  He was at one time the majority owner and chairman of the now nationalised Icelandic bank Landsbanki, the second largest company in Iceland.  He was ranked by "Forbes" magazine in March 2008 as the 1014th-richest person in the world, with a net worth of $1.1 billion.  In December of the same year Forbes revalued his net worth to $0 and on 31 July 2009 he was declared bankrupt by the Icelandic courts with debts of almost £500 million (96 billion ISK).
