Okay, so I was scrolling through my feed the other day, and a headline popped up about the Dallas Cowboys. It got me thinking about Jerry Jones, the owner. I mean, the guy’s a legend, but how old is he really? So, I decided to dig in.
First, I just Googled “Jerry Jones age.” I know, super basic, but hey, it’s a starting point. The search results immediately gave me his birthdate: October 13, 1942. Alright, cool. Time for some quick math. I grabbed my phone’s calculator and subtracted 1942 from the current year, 2024. Boom! 82 years old. Man, time flies!
But I wasn’t satisfied with just knowing his age. I wanted to know more about the man himself. So, I started clicking around, reading different articles and such.
- I learned that his full name is Jerral Wayne Jones Sr. Sounds pretty formal, right?
- Then I found out he was born in Los Angeles but his family moved to North Little Rock, Arkansas when he was a kid.
- He bought the Cowboys back in 1989. Can you imagine that? And he fired the coach, Tom Landry! That must have been a huge deal back then.
Next, I got curious about his money situation. I mean, owning an NFL team? You gotta be loaded. So, I searched for “Jerry Jones net worth.” Turns out, according to Forbes, the dude’s worth a whopping $16.6 billion as of early 2025. Seriously, that’s insane! It also said he was ranked #11 among the wealthiest U.S. sports team owners in 2024. 16.6 BILLION DOLLARS! What in the world?
What about his family?
Of course, I had to find out about his personal life. Turns out, he’s been married to Eugenia Chambers since 1963! They met in college. They’ve got three kids: Stephen, Jerry Jr., and Charlotte. Stephen is actually the Cowboys’ chief operating officer and executive vice president now. It’s like a family business!
So, yeah, that’s my little deep dive into Jerry Jones. Started with a simple question about his age and ended up learning a whole bunch about the guy. It’s pretty wild how much information is out there if you just take the time to look. Even though he’s 82, the man is still going strong and running things over there at the Cowboys. Pretty impressive, I gotta say.
