William Schwing Patout, III (October 15, 1932 – August 5, 2017), also known as Billy Patout, was a sugar baron from New Iberia, Louisiana.
In 1832, his family began operating M.
A.
Patout Enterprise.
The firm is managed by a non-family member president and board of trustees, but Patout continued in his later years as a consultant and a member of the company board of directors, who remain family members.
