Jerry Jones & family (#136)

When I look back on my life, I overpaid for my big successes every time. And when I tried to get a bargain, get it a little cheaper or get a better deal on it, I ended up usually either getting it and not happy I got it. Or missing it.

About Me

Jerry Jones, co-captain of the University of Arkansas 1964 national championship team, has long had football in his blood. His most valuable holding is the Dallas Cowboys, which he bought for $150 million in 1989. The team is currently valued at roughly $13 billion. Jones made a name for himself as an oil wildcatter, making his first million in oil investments in the 1970s. He still invests in drilling opportunities as well as retail and residential real estate projects in Dallas. After a 2018 deal, Jones became the controlling shareholder in Comstock Resources, a publicly traded Texas oil and gas company. An avid art collector, Jones owns Norman Rockwell's "Coin Toss" as well as paintings by Picasso, Renoir and Matisse among others.
