Robert Dunlap

Mississippi retailer; Chairman Dunlap & Kyle Co. Inc.

Dunlap owns a chain of tire stores in the South and has been a Rebels booster for decades. In 2010, when the university moved to get rid of its Confederate caricature mascot, Colonel Reb, Dunlap was part of a booster group opposing the decision, even suggesting that he'd stop his philanthropic giving if Reb got the boot. Well, Reb is no longer, but apparently Dunlap is still a valued booster: As of 2011, he's named as a charter member of the Vaught Society, which recognizes those who have given $350,000-plus to Ole Miss athletics in their lifetimes. (Dunlap says he's given more than $1 million.)
