The son of William (“Bill”) and Gayle Cook, Carl Cook took over the reins of the Cook Group upon his father’s death in 2011. The medical device company, which specializes in stents and catheters that contain pre-injected antibiotics, has revenues estimated at $2 billion. Much of what is known about the private family comes from Bob Hammel’s 2008 biography, “Bill Cook Story.” According to the book, Cook’s parents slowly transferred their fortune to their son to ensure the family’s control of the business without burdening the company with high taxes.
