- It's been a bad three months or so for Continental Resources (CLR -3.5%) CEO and founder Harold Hamm, whose personal fortune has been cut in half thanks to a 51% drop in the price of CLR shares - including a 30% drop in the past week alone - and a relatively favorable ruling to pay his ex-wife nearly $1B in a divorce judgment.
- Since the end of August, Hamm has seen the value of his shares in the company fall from $20B in late August to slightly more than $10B on Friday.
- Hamm is hardly a pauper, of course, even though he's down to his last $8B-$10B.
