10. There Was Almost a Beverly Hillbillies Casino

Max Baer Jr. who played Jethro on the show had ambitions to build some Beverly Hillbillies themed hotels, restaurants and casinos in Nevada. He succeeded in getting some sub-licensing rights for products like food and slot machines, and he had dreams of a 200-foot replica of an oil derrick. The project has hit many roadblocks through the years, though, so time will tell if Jethro’s Beverly Hillbillies Casino ever becomes a reality. Don’t underestimate Jethro, though. Max Baer Jr. is actually a very successful businessman who’s made millions producing films like Macon County Line (which he made for just $100K) and Ode to Billy Joe, another low-budget production that hit the box-office jackpot.
