bitonti Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 which puts him in the bottom third of wealth for NFL owners. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/26/paul-allen-is-the-richest-nfl-owner/ The richest of all NFL owners, via SportsBusiness Daily, is Allen, at a whopping $15 billion. A full 10 figures in the distance is Rams owner Stan Kroenke, at $5.0 billion. (Coupled with wife Ann Walton Kroenke’s $4.5 billion, that’s a $9.5 billion power couple.) The bronze is shared by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer, both of whom are listed at a net worth of $4.4 billion. Next on the list is Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, at $2.9 billion. Giants co-owner Joan Tisch also has a net worth of $2.9 billion. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is worth $2.7 billion, followed by Patriots owner Robert Kraft ($2.3 billion), Browns owner Jimmy Haslam III ($1.8 billion), Texans owner Bob McNair ($1.8 billion), Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti ($1.8 billion), Falcons owner Arthur Blank ($1.6 billion), Colts owner Jim Irsay ($1.5 billion), Titans owner Bud Adams ($1.2 billion), Saints owner Tom Benson ($1.2 billion), 49ers co-owner Denise York ($1.1 billion), Redskins owner Dan Snyder ($1.0 billion), and Chargers owner Alex Spanos ($1.0 billion). That’s 19 teams owned by billionaires, with every team in the AFC South owned by a billionaire. Which means, excluding the publicly-owned Packers, 12 teams are owned by non-billionaires.

bitonti Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 In completely unrelated news, the 3rd richest owner wants to trade for Revis while the 20th-32nd ranked owner doesn't want to pay him. Cause of football reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 another fun fact the only non billionaire owner to win a Super Bowl in the last 10 years was the Rooney family and the Pittsburgh steelers who won in 2006 and 2009. (In 2008 the team restructured the ownership and brought on several new investors) The Packers also won but they are "public" owned. So that's 3 Super Bowls in the last 14 years won by non-billionaires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I know that but my point is we have had the resources to win just bad talent acquisition and management has been our failure not because woody needs a couple of more dollars in his pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsjetsjetss Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 i dont understand why jets fans think this is a big deal. There is a cap and you must spend a certain amount. Everyone is worrying about cap room not how little they spend ps woody is worth way more then 1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsjetsjetss Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Woody doesn't want to pay Revis because he hasn't seen Band aid money for 60 years. thats a completly flawed arugment.

SayNoToDMC Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't know who compiled this list but Woody Johnson has a net worth of over 3 billion unless he lost a boat load of money in the last few year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody doesnt want to pay revis but has to spend the same money on other players anyway? 16m in 1 player or 16m in 3 first off it's probably 12 not 16 mil but generally I agree it was a sarcastic remark you don't actually have to be a billionaire to win. George Steinbrenner was one of the least wealthy MLB owners and always spent the most. In the NFL, the Broncos owner Pat Bowlen isn't on that list but clearly he is committed to spend. I am just sick of hearing how the Jets are cap strapped and blah blah blah. This team isn't getting better and they are trading their best player. If Woody does pay 3 free agents 4 mil a piece then yes that's another way to go. But he's not doing that. He's cutting everyone and the replacements are cheap as hell. Heck all the Rex haters know why Rex is still here. And Mark. It's cause Woody doesn't want to pay them to not be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more teams have won without franchise qb's than without billionaires. Well, Bit, your poor math skills strike again 2012 - Joe Flacco (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2011 -- Eli Manning (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2010 -- Aaron Rodgers (Franchise QB/Non-Billionaire Owner) 2009 -- Drew Brees (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2008 -- Big Ben (Franchise QB/Non-Billionaire Owner) 2007 -- Eli Manning (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2006 -- Peyton Manning (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2005 -- Big Ben (Franchise QB/Non-Billionaire Owner) 2004 -- Tom Brady (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2003 -- Tom Brady (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2002 -- Brad Johnson (Non-Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2001 -- Tom Brady (Franchise QB/Billionaire Owner) 2000 -- Trent Dilfer (Non-Franchise QB/Non-Billionaire Owner--Art Modell was not a billionaire) 1999 -- Kurt Warner (Franchise QB/Non-Billionaire Owner -- Georgia Frontiere was not a billionaire) So in the last 14 years you mentioned, a franchise QB has won 12 times and a billionaire owner won it 9 times, and only 1 billionaire owner won the SB without a franchise QB while a franchise QB won the SB 4 times without a billionaire owner. A franchise QB remains the most important component of a championship team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like hes not spending money woody is spending as much as everyone else heck the jets were in such cap hell cause they spent as much as they were allowed by the cap to spend. I get it you dont want to trade revis but blaming woody cause hes "cheap" rly? Thats completely false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, plus the fact he is so heavily leveraged with the purchase of the team and financing the stadium, he has to be more cost conscious compared to other owners.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 His net worth was over three billion within the last few years, with the Jets currently valued at over 1.2 billion. the only thing that I can think of is there's some debt due to the construction of the new stadium that is affecting his status, but I highly doubt he lost 70% of his net worth and there hasn't been a reporting of it.
