Justice owns more than 100 businesses around West Virginia. He was once a billionaire but due to a downturn in the coal business and other financial difficulties his wealth has plummeted, some estimates say by half.
In August, his family avoided foreclosure on their 710-room, 11,000 acre Greenbrier Resort. Beltway Capital, which had taken over the property’s loan from J.P. Morgan, was going to auction the property. Justice said the family originally took out a $200 million unsecured loan on the property, which the family paid all the way down to $9.4 million.
A couple days before a court hearing and auction, Justice announced they made a deal and said the Greenbrier would be in their family “forevermore”. Other businesses owned by the family have had problems with debts, fines and late taxes.
