Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Chairman Rob Walton speaking during the 2015 shareholders' meeting at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
You probably have seen the announcement that Rob Walton is buying NFL’s Denver Broncos for a record price of $4.65 billion.
But did you know that the oldest son of Walmart founder Sam Walton is now the richest owner in the NFL, according to Forbes?
Forbes estimates Walton’s net worth at $57.7 billion, as of Thursday.
Walton’s net worth is multiple times that of the other owners. The next-richest NFL team owner on the list is David Tepper, owner of the Carolina Panthers. His net worth is estimated at $16.7 billion.
And there’s another owner with strong Arkansas ties in the top 10 of richest football owners: Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
