it gets even better then that.   In 1963, he was part of a consortium that bought the New York Jets which included Hess, Sonny Werblin, Philip H. Iselin, Townsend B. Martin and Donald Lillis.[4] His initial investment was $250,000.[1]

 

Amazing and to think only 2 years later #12  was drafted by and signed with the NYJ for the highest rookie football contract ever at around $425K
