==Early life==
Pickens was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma, the son of Grace (née Molonson) and Thomas Boone Pickens. His father worked as an oil and mineral landman (rights leaser). During World War II, his mother ran the local Office of Price Administration, rationing gasoline and other goods in three counties.〔 Pickens was the first child born via Caesarean section in the history of Holdenville hospital.〔Wieberg, Steve. ("Tycoon's $165M gift to Oklahoma State raises both hopes and questions" ), ''USA Today'', August 15, 2006.〕
At age 12, Pickens delivered newspapers. He quickly expanded his paper route from 28 papers to 156.〔 Pickens later cited his boyhood job as an early introduction to "expanding quickly by acquisition", a business practice he favored later in life.〔("Boone Pickens, Chairman, Chevron Capital Management in Dallas, Texas" ). The Horatio Alger Association.〕
When the oil boom in Oklahoma ended in the late 1930s, Pickens' family moved to Amarillo, Texas.〔 Pickens never served in the military〔 but instead attended Texas A&M on a basketball scholarship, but he lost the scholarship〔 and transferred to Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State University), where he majored in geology. He is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He graduated from Oklahoma A&M with a degree in geology in 1951. Following his graduation, Pickens was employed by Phillips Petroleum. He worked for Phillips until 1954.〔 In 1956, following his period as a wildcatter, he founded the company that would later become Mesa Petroleum.
