About Me

Terry Pegula made a fortune in oil and gas and has since turned it into a sports empire that includes the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres. His oil and gas outfit, East Resources, sold the bulk of its assets to Royal Dutch Shell for $4.7 billion in 2010. He bought the Sabres the next year for $189 million and in 2014 outbid groups led by Donald Trump and Bon Jovi to pick up the Bills for $1.4 billion. A former math major, Pegula switched to petroleum engineering on a scholarship and joined Getty Oil after graduation. He founded East Resources in 1983 with a $7,500 loan from friends and family to drill sand wells.
