About Me

Janice McNair inherited 80% of the NFL's Houston Texans upon the 2018 death of her husband, Bob McNair. She died in July 2026 at age 89. She met Bob McNair at Columbia College in South Carolina in the late 1950s. The couple moved to Houston and had four children and 16 grandchildren. Bob made his first fortune selling his power generator company Cogen Technologies to Enron for $1.5 billion in 1999. With the proceeds of Cogen's sale, he paid $700 million that year for the NFL's 32nd franchise. Her son Cal McNair was named the team's principal owner in 2024.
