Every NFL Owner's Net Worth: Who Is the Richest?

Sports franchise valuations have skyrocketed in the last two decades. So, too, have the net worths of sports team owners.

In the NFL, a handful of franchises have been passed down among families for multiple generations. But an increasing number of them have been sold to some of the most successful entrepreneurs across the United States and the world.

So, who is the richest NFL owner today? Here are the full 32-team rankings.

Every NFL Owner, Ranked by Personal Net Worth

All net worths below are estimates as of the start of the 2026 NFL season on Sept. 9, and are sourced from the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List and PFSN unless otherwise stated.
