DALLAS (AP) — It was a Valentine’s Day wedding for Texas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens.
Pickens
spokesman Jay Rosser said Pickens married Toni Brinker on Friday. The
wedding took place at Pickens’ ranch in the Texas Panhandle.
Brinker
is the widow of Dallas businessman Norman Brinker. He built a worldwide
casual dining empire that included Chili’s restaurants.
This is the fifth marriage for the 85-year-old Pickens.
The
Oklahoma native made much of his fortune in oil drilling. Pickens has
traveled the country championing wind power and other alternative energy
forms. He’s also donated millions of dollars to his alma mater of
Oklahoma State University and various other causes.
In 2012, it was announced that Pickens and his fourth wife, Madeleine, were divorcing. The two had
married in 2005.
