Max Baer Jr., who as Jethro in the 1960s sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" lived off his uncle Jed's oil riches, is hoping to strike it rich in the gambling market. Baer purchased a 2.5-acre parcel last week for a planned casino in north Douglas County for USD 1.2 million. The deal followed his recent sale of the old Wal-Mart building in nearby Carson City for USD 8.5 million.
