Alright, let’s talk about this fella, Jerry Jones. Folks keep jabberin’ ’bout how much money he’s got. They say he’s worth a whole heap, like fifteen billion dollars! Can you even imagine that much money? I sure can’t. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
Now, where’d he get all that dough? Well, they say it’s mostly from that football team, the Dallas Cowboys. Apparently, that team’s worth a whole lot, more than ten billion dollars they say. And Jerry, he owns most of it, him and his wife. That’s a smart move, ownin’ somethin’ folks love to watch.
- Bought the Cowboys way back in 1989.
- Paid a hundred and fifty million dollars for ’em.
- Now they’re worth billions!
That’s what I call a good investment! Like buyin’ a piece of land for cheap and then sellin’ it for a whole lot more when folks start buildin’ houses all around. Jerry, he did somethin’ like that, but with football players instead of dirt.
But it wasn’t just football, you know. Before he got into football, he was hustlin’ too. Heard he borrowed some money, a whole million dollars, after he finished college. Used it to open up some pizza places. Shakey’s Pizza, they called ’em. In Missouri, I think. See, even back then, he was tryin’ to make somethin’ of himself.
And then there’s that oil and gas business he started. In Arkansas, it was. Jones Oil and Land Lease. Folks say he got real lucky with that. Hit oil in almost every well he dug. One of them wells brought in four million dollars all by itself! That’s what I call strikin’ it rich. Just goes to show, you gotta take chances in life.
So, this Jerry Jones, he’s a businessman, a football owner, and a rich fella, real rich. They say he’s one of the richest men in the whole country. Forbes magazine, they put him on their list of rich folks. Way up there, he is. Number 52, or somethin’ like that. That’s pretty high up, I reckon.
Now, some folks might say he’s just lucky, but I think it’s more than that. He’s smart, he’s got a good head for business, and he ain’t afraid to take a risk. And that’s how you make a fortune in this world, ain’t it? You gotta be willin’ to work hard and take chances.
The Dallas Cowboys, that’s his big thing now. Worth more than any other sports team, they say. Even more than the New York Yankees, and them fellas are loaded too. So Jerry, he’s sittin’ pretty. He’s got more money than he knows what to do with, I bet.
And the value of the team keeps goin’ up, especially with how much the whole National Football League is worth these days. That means Jerry’s gettin’ even richer. It ain’t just about the football games, you know. It’s a whole business. Jerseys, hats, TV deals… it all adds up.
So, that’s the story of Jerry Jones’ money, as far as I can tell. He started small, worked hard, took some chances, and now he’s a billionaire. Fifteen billion dollars… that’s a whole lotta money. Enough to buy a whole lotta pizzas and oil wells, I reckon.
