“I’ve always tried to carry myself as just a normal person because that’s to me how I am,” Jessica told The Times. “I’m definitely aware that I was very privileged and had a lot of good opportunities, and I didn’t want to waste those.”
“My dad is super blue-collar,” she continued. “He grew up with nothing and built his way up, and that mindset was instilled in my family from a young age.”
With a $7,500 loan, Terry launched an independent oil and gas company that turned into the largest privately held oil and gas business after 30 years. He sold a large portion of the business to Royal Dutch Shell for $4.7 billion in 2010 and another portion for $1.75 billion in 2014.
“Some people get this image that it’s really easy for me because my dad is very wealthy, but that didn’t happen till I was 17 or 18,” Pegula noted.
