The Bass Family's Prestigious Fort Worth Estates - Who Owns What and Where

The Bass family holds a heavy name in Fort Worth.  The elite status and wealth of the Bass family traces back to oilmen nephews Sid Richardson and Perry Bass.  Perry Bass inherited the oil business from Sid Richardson in the mid 20th century and learned the oil industry.  Not long thereafter, 3 of his 4 sons, Sid, Lee, and Robert took over and broadened the investment horizon.  Today, the Bass family is worth billions of dollars.  They have turned their success into philanthropic donations giving millions and millions of dollars to a wide range of charities, including the ever growing city of Fort Worth, Texas.  Although Perry Bass has died, his wife, Nancy Bass, continues to reside in Westover Hills.  Robert, Sid, and Lee Bass, all sons of Perry and Nancy, live in Westover Hills.  Ed Bass resides in Fort Worth (most likely in Westover Hills), but unfortunately I could not find his residence.

Robert and Anne Bass own this home in Westover Hills, Fort Worth, TX along Westover Drive.  The 16,250 sq. foot square home is situated on a heavily wooded and heavily gated private lot constructed among the hills of the area.  The 2011 appraisal was just over $8 million.

Until recently, Sid and Mercedes Bass enjoyed this palatial estate with an array of bountiful gardens and greenery.  Currently in the middle of a divorce, Mercedes is reported to be receiving this estate on Crestline Road in Westover Hills once the divorce is final.  Fort Worth's Finest Estate, as I've called it, is 18,270 sq. feet with an 8 car garage space, large driveway and numerous private ponds.  Built in 1990 just a few years after the couple's wedding, the 2011 appraisal is just over $16 million.  

Anne H. Bass is Sid Bass' first wife.  Anne owns this architecturally significant home along Deepdale Drive.  Built in 1977, the 16,350 sq. foot home simply titled "Bass Residence" was designed by Paul Rudolph after Sid and Anne Bass, now divorced, came to him in 1970 with the project in mind.  The incredible home is constructed among the wooded hills of Westover Hills.  

Lee Bass was one of the 3 brothers who inherited his father and uncle's investments.  This 11,530 sq. foot residence is located on Rivercrest Drive.  The 2011 appraisal indicates the home is worth just under $5 million.

Nancy Bass, married to Perry and mother to Sid, Robert, Ed, and Lee, still resides also in Westover Hills on Westover Road.  The home, built in 1960, is 11,300 sq. feet.  

So its clear the well known philanthropic Bass family holds significance in the city of Fort Worth.  Millions upon millions of dollars has been generously given to charities all across the country from each of these selfless billionaires.  May their legacy last a lifetime!
