Michael Bidwill is a third-generation owner of the Arizona Cardinals, having inherited the team after the death of his father, Bill Bidwill, in 2019. Forbes estimated in 2015 that the family had a net worth of $1.4 billion.

The Cardinals were originally purchased by Michael Bidwill's grandfather Charles in 1933 for $50,000 — now, they're worth $4.3 billion, making them tied with the Phoenix Suns for the 50th most valuable sports team in the world, per Forbes.

Under Michael Bidwill's leadership, the team has made just one wild-card playoff appearance, which they lost in 2021, and he was given an F by the NFL Player's Association, though the report said the rating was "significantly higher than last year given some of the upgrades," like getting new equipment in the weight room and providing a daycare and small family room.

Meanwhile, a November 2023 investigation by ESPN detailed a number of workplace misconduct allegations from current and former Cardinals employees. Bidwill told the outlet in a statement the team has "worked hard over the last several years to improve our culture across the board," adding, "We have more to do and, as I have said to every member of the Cardinals organization, that includes my own work to grow and improve as a leader."

The Cardinals did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The Home Depot cofounder Arthur Blank, who Forbes estimates is worth $9.2 billion, purchased the Atlanta Falcons in 2002 for $545 million, famously writing the agreement on a cloth napkin during a December 2001 meeting with seller Taylor Smith. The sale was finalized just a couple months later in February 2002.

Under Blank's leadership, the Falcons have had nine winning seasons, including eight playoff berths and an appearance at Super Bowl LI in 2017. Blank also built Mercedes-Benz Stadium and was named the 2021 Sports Philanthropist of the Year by ESPN. He was given an A- ranking by the NFLPA.

Per Forbes, the Falcons are the 29th most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.2 billion.

At 64, Allegis Group founder Steve Bisciotti, who Forbes estimates has a net worth of $7.5 billion, is one of the youngest owners in the NFL. He bought a minority stake from previous owner Art Modell in 2000 and completed his purchase in April 2004, spending a total of $600 million, ESPN reported at the time.

"We're proud of what we're giving to Baltimore. You have to make the playoffs to have the opportunity to compete for championships, and championships are our goal. We want to be a consistent winner that avoids big lulls and not being in the playoffs for any length of time," Bisciotti has said.

The Ravens have won two Super Bowls under Bisciotti (2000 and 2012) and are one of the most consistent teams in the league, with the fourth-most postseason victories from 2008 to 2023.

Forbes valued the team at $5 billion, making it tied with Bayern Munich for the 34th most valuable team in the world. Bisciotti was given an A ranking by the NFLPA.

And with two-time league MVP Lamar Jackson at the helm, they're poised to make yet another deep run in the playoffs.

In October 2014, energy billionaire Terry Pegula, who now has an estimated net worth of $7.6 billion, purchased the Buffalo Bills with his wife, Kim Pegula, for $1.4 billion cash, outbidding the likes of Donald Trump and Jon Bon Jovi.

In December 2024, Terry Pegula and the Bills added 10 limited partners to the team's ownership group, described as "non-controlling, minority interests." Some of these partners include former US National Team soccer player Jozy Altidore and former NBA players Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady.

The diversification of ownership comes after Kim Pegula was declared legally incapacitated in March 2023 following a brain injury sustained during cardiac arrest in June 2022. Kim Pegula is still listed as a coowner by the Bills organization, but her duties as president have been assumed by Terry Pegula, who maintains the titles of co-owner, CEO, and president.

During the Pegulas' tenure, the Bills have become a formidable team, with seven playoff appearances, including the 2020 AFC Championship. The Pegulas also own the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL.

In August 2024, Forbes reported that the Bills are worth $4.2 billion— making them the 30th most valuable NFL team and falling just outside the world's top 50 highest-valued franchises. Pegula was given an A- in ownership by the NFLPA.

Terry and Kim Pegula are the parents of WTA No. 6 player Jessica Pegula.

Billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist David Tepper purchased the Carolina Panthers in 2018 for $2.275 billion, ESPN reported. Tepper has an estimated net worth of $21.3 billion, according to Forbes.

"I am thrilled to begin this new era of Carolina Panthers football and am humbled by the overwhelming excitement and support for the team," Tepper said at the time.

But the team has had no winning seasons in the last seven years. Still, it was valued at $4.5 billion, making it the 45th most valuable team in the world, according to Forbes.

Tepper was given a D in ownership by the NFLPA; in the report card, players expressed frustration over the stadium's use of synthetic turf rather than natural grass. Business Insider reached out to the Panthers for comment.

Still, sophomore quarterback Bryce Young showed increasing promise as the season progressed, leading to some much-needed hope for the future in Charlotte.

At 102 years old, Virginia Halas McCaskey is the oldest and longest-tenured team owner in the NFL.

She inherited the team in 1983 after the death of her father, Hall of Famer and Bears founder George Halas Sr. In 2015, Forbes estimated the McCaskey family had a net worth of $1.3 billion.

Under her ownership, Halas McCaskey has seen the Bears appear in four NFC Championships, going to Super Bowl XLI in 2007 and winning Super Bowl XX in 1986. However, the team has struggled in recent years, finishing the 2024 season 5-12.

Still, the Chicago Bears are the 15th most valuable sports team in the world, worth $6.4 billion, according to Forbes; and, Halas McCaskey earned a B+ in ownership from the NFLPA.

Mike Brown inherited the Cincinnati Bengals in 1991 after the death of his father, Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown.

Paul Brown founded the Bengals in 1967 after cofounding and coaching the Cleveland Browns (who yes, bear his name) for more than a decade.

In 2011, the Brown family purchased the remaining 30 percent of the team they didn't own for $200 million cash to become the sole owners of the Bengals, the NFL reported, citing Forbes. Mike Brown and his family have an estimated net worth of $3.9 billion, according to Forbes.

Mike Brown serves as the Bengals' principal owner and is president of the team. After decades of struggle, the Bengals have found success in recent years thanks in part to quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who led the team to Super Bowl LVI in 2021, losing 23-20 to the LA Rams.

Mike Brown was given a C+ ownership rating by the NFLPA.

Former CEO of the Pilot Company Jimmy Haslam and his wife, Dee Haslam, purchased a 70 percent stake in the Cleveland Browns in 2012 from Randy Lerner for $1 billion. Jimmy Haslam has an estimated net worth of $8.5 billion, according to Forbes.

Since the Haslams took over, the Browns have had just two winning seasons, in 2020 and 2023.

They were given a B ownership rating by the NFLPA and, per Forbes, the team is worth $5.15 billion, making it the 30th most valuable franchise in the world.

Jerry Jones is the man behind the most valuable sports franchise in the world — the Dallas Cowboys — worth $10.1 billion, per Forbes.

That's more than 72 times what Jones paid for the team in 1989. (He paid H.R. Bright $140 million.) He now has an estimated net worth of $17.2 billion, per Forbes.

In the decades that followed, the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls (1992, 1993, and 1995) but they haven't made it beyond the divisional round of playoffs since.

Jones was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 — the 15th owner to receive such an award — and was given a B in ownership by the NFLPA in 2024.

In August 2022, the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group purchased the Denver Broncos from the Pat Bowlen Trust for $4.65 billion, the NFL reported.

The controlling ownership designation was transferred from Rob Walton — heir to the Walmart fortune — to his son-in-law, Broncos CEO Greg Penner (who's married to Carrie Walton Penner), in October 2023. Rob Walton and his family have an estimated net worth of $109.8 billion, per Forbes.

Penner oversaw the hiring of Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who, alongside rookie quarterback Bo Nix, took the team to its first playoff game since its Super-Bowl-winning 2016 season.

The Broncos are tied with the Los Angeles Clippers for the 22nd most valuable sports team in the world, with a worth of $5.5 billion, according to Forbes.

The Walton-Penner family was given an A ownership ranking by the NFLPA.

Sheila Ford Hamp became the principal owner and chair of the Detroit Lions in June 2020, after inheriting the team from her mother, Martha Firestone Ford.

Firestone Ford had previously taken over the team in 2014 after the death of her husband, Bill Ford Sr., who'd purchased the Lions in 1963 for $6 million. In 2015, Forbes estimated the Ford family had a net worth of $2 billion.

Under Sheila Ford Hamp's leadership, the Lions have entered an unprecedented era of success thanks in large part to her hires, GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.

Last season, the team made its first NFC Championship appearance since 1991, and now, as the NFC's No. 1 seed, the team will be looking to improve upon last year's success as they strive for the city's first-ever Super Bowl appearance.

Sheila Ford Hamp was given a B- in ownership in February 2024 by the NFLPA.

The Green Bay Packers are the only publicly owned team in the NFL.

Fans have owned the franchise for more than a century and there have only been six stock offerings, the most recent being in 2021 with stocks worth $300. Per the Packers, the franchise is owned by more than 539,000 people who own more than 5.2 million shares.

The Packers are the 20th most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.6 billion, according to Forbes, and they were given an A in ownership by the NFLPA.

And if you're wondering how the team is actually run: It's governed by an unpaid board of directors and a seven-member executive committee.

In 1999, the Houston Texans were founded by Janice and Bob McNair. When Bob McNair died in 2018, ownership was transferred to Janice. Then, in March 2024, it was transferred to their son, Cal McNair, via a vote. Per Forbes, Janice McNair and the family have an estimated net worth of $6.2 billion.

Cal McNair had already been serving as the team's chair and CEO since July 2018 and January 2019, respectively.

"It's an exciting time to be a Houston Texan and I'm honored to lead this franchise. This move ensures the long-term stability of our franchise and we will continue to operate the way we have been over the last couple of years, pursuing a championship for the City of Houston while doing great things in the community and for our fans," Cal McNair said in a statement.

The Texans finished the 2024 regular season 10-7 and defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in the wild-card round of the playoffs. They will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoff round on January 18.

Forbes reported that the Texans are the eighth most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth $6.1 billion. Janice McNair was given a B+ ownership rating by the NFLPA in February 2024.

Jim Irsay has been the principal owner of the Indianapolis Colts since 1997, when he inherited the team from his father, Robert Irsay, at just 37 years old. Yet, Jim Irsay's time with the Colts began long before that, as he worked in everything from ticket sales and public relations to football operations before becoming the team's GM in 1983 at 24 years old. He now serves as the team's owner, chairman, and CEO, and has an estimated net worth of $4.8 billion.

Robert Irsay originally purchased the team — then known as the Baltimore Colts — in 1972 for $12 million. He moved the team to Indianapolis in 1984.

Under Jim Irsay's leadership, the Colts have won 10 divisional championships, made two Super Bowl appearances, one of which they won in 2007.

The Colts are the 40th most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth $4.8 billion, and Irsay was given a C in ownership by the NFLPA.

In 2014, he was arrested on a DUI charge and later pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, which led to a six-game suspension and $500,000 fine from the NFL. In a 2023 interview on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Irsay said he was "prejudiced against" because he's a "rich, white billionaire."

Shahid "Shad" Khan, who now has an estimated net worth of $13.3 billion, purchased the Jacksonville Jaguars from Wayne Weaver in November 2011 for $770 million. The sale was finalized in January 2012.

The Jaguars have struggled throughout Khan's leadership, having made the playoffs just twice. Still, he was given an A in ownership by the NFLPA and the team is worth $4.6 billion, making it tied with the Philadelphia 76ers as the 43rd most valuable franchise in sports, according to Forbes.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been owned by the Hunt family since the beginning. Lamar Hunt Sr. founded the team in 1959 as the Dallas Texans, and the team was moved to Kansas City in 1963. After Lamar Hunt Sr.'s death in 2006, ownership was divided between his wife, Norma, and their four children: Clark Hunt, Sharron Hunt Munson, Daniel Hunt, and Lamar Hunt Jr. The family has an estimated net worth of $24.8 billion, per Forbes.

Clark Hunt (pictured above) became the team's CEO in 2010 and has since been responsible for team decisions. He was responsible for hiring head coach Andy Reid in 2013, now the winningest head coach in franchise history with three Super Bowl victories alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Forbes ranked the Chiefs, worth $4.85 billion, as the 39th most valuable franchise in sports.

And yet, all of the team's success didn't stop the Hunt family from receiving an F- ownership grade from the NFLPA in February 2024.

The Chiefs did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Mark Davis, who has an estimated net worth of $2.3 billion, per Forbes, inherited the Las Vegas Raiders (then the Oakland Raiders) in 2011 after the death of his father, Al Davis.

Al Davis originally purchased a 10% stake in the team in 1966 for $18,500 and increased his ownership to 67% before his death.

In October 2024, Mark Davis expanded the team's ownership, selling 5% to former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, 5% to Knighthead Capital Management cofounder Tom Wagner, and 0.5% to former NFL defensive lineman Richard Seymour.

The following month, Davis agreed to sell an additional 15% of the franchise, with equal stakes going to Silver Lake co-CEO and Endeavor board chairman Egon Durban and Discovery Land Company founder and chairman Michael Meldman.

Despite the changes, Davis remains the team's principal owner and was given a B+ rating by the NFLPA. The Raiders are reportedly worth $6.7 billion, making them the 11th most valuable sports team in the world.

In 2018, Dean Spanos became the principal owner of the Los Angeles Chargers (previously the San Diego Chargers) after the death of his father, Alex Spanos.

The elder Spanos had owned the team since 1984, after purchasing a 60% stake for $70 million, ESPN reported. He went on to buy out minority owners' shares to own 97% of the team, which was passed on to his four children. As of 2018, the Spanos family has an estimated net worth of $2.4 billion, according to Forbes.

Dean Spanos took over daily operations as team president in 1994, and has passed along day-to-day duties to his sons, AG and John Spanos, who now work as president of business operations and president of football operations, respectively.

In October 2024, billionaire Tom Gores purchased a 27% stake in the team for $750 million.

In the last 10 seasons, the Chargers have made three playoff appearances. The team is tied with Manchester City as the 31st most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth $5.1 billion.

Spanos was given a C+ for ownership by the NFLPA.

In August 2010, Stan Kroenke paid $750 million to become the principal owner of the St. Louis Rams. He had previously been a minority owner of the team, purchasing a 30% stake in 1995 and increasing it to 40% stake by 1997.

In 2016, fellow NFL owners approved Kroenke's proposal to move the Rams back to Los Angeles, and in 2021, he opened SoFi Stadium which is home to both the Rams and Chargers.

The LA Rams are now worth $7.6 billion, according to Forbes, making them the third most valuable team in sports, behind the Dallas Cowboys and the Golden State Warriors, while Kroenke himself has an estimated net worth of $16.9 billion, according to the publication.

"Stan has the vision, resources, inspiration and creativity to create the right setting for the NFL in Los Angeles," Jerry Jones has said, calling him "a valuable asset to the National Football League."

Since 2010, the Rams have made five playoff appearances, all under head coach Sean McVay. The Rams won the Super Bowl in 2022 at home at SoFi, becoming just the second team to win the Super Bowl at home.

Kroenke was given a C+ ownership rating by the NFLPA.

He also owns Premier League team Arsenal FC.

In January 2009, billionaire Stephen M. Ross completed his purchase of the Miami Dolphins for a total of $1 billion (Ross has an estimated net worth of $17 billion, per Forbes). Ross had initially purchased a 50% stake in the franchise in February 2008 for $550 million, and the following January, he purchased an additional 45 percent of the team, leaving 5% to previous owner Wayne Huizenga, ESPN reported.

After his 2009 purchase, Ross said, "That is the most important thing, and the thing that drives me — creating and being part of a winning organization. There is nothing more important than that."

Today, Ross is the chairman of the board, managing general partner, and owner of the team, which is worth $6.2 billion, according to Forbes, making it the 17th most valuable franchise in sports.

The Dolphins were the highest-ranked team in the league by the NFLPA, earning scores of A- and above in all categories, including treatment of families, the locker room, weight room, training staff, head coach, and ownership. Ross himself earned an A+ ranking, one of only two coaches to receive such high praise.

In June 2005, Red McCombs sold the Minnesota Vikings to brothers Zygi and Mark Wilf, their cousin Lenny Wilf, and their co-investors for $600 million. Zygi Wilf is widely reported to have an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion.

Today, Zygi Wilf is the chairman and control owner of the team, and the trio's individual stakes have never been shared, Sport Business Journal reported.

The Vikings ranked as the second-best team in the NFL, according to the NFLPA's 2024 report cards, earning A+ marks in ownership and head coach, as well as A marks in categories like the weight room, locker room, and treatment of families.

Under the Wilfs' ownership, the team opened US Bank Stadium in 2016 — the largest construction project in Minnesota state history — and made eight playoff appearances, though they haven't made it to the Super Bowl since 1976.

The Vikings are the 33rd most valuable team in sports, worth $5.05 billion, per Forbes.

Robert Kraft is one of the best-known owners in the league. He purchased the New England Patriots in 1994 for $172 million and now has an estimated net worth of $11.8 billion, per Forbes.

Through the purchase, Kraft became the team's chairman and CEO and he pledged "to help bring a championship to New England."

More than 30 years later, the Patriots have become one of the most successful teams in NFL history with six Super Bowl victories from 10 appearances.

Per Forbes, the Patriots are worth $7.4 billion — more than 43 times what Kraft bought the team for — but he received a D+ ownership ranking from the NFLPA. Dissatisfaction with the weight room and training room were two examples of areas players felt Kraft could invest more in, per the report card. The Patriots did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

In 2018, Gayle Benson inherited the New Orleans Saints from her husband, Tom Benson, after his death. She has an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion, Forbes reported.

Tom Benson had previously purchased the team in 1985 for about $70 million.

In 2021, Gayle Benson told The Times-Picayune that after her death, the succession plan is to sell the Saints and the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans (which she also owns) to a buyer that promises to keep the teams in New Orleans and donate all the proceeds to charities.

"When Tom bought this team, he didn't have a lot of money. Everything that he had, had to be given to keep the team. He worked really hard to get the Pelicans here. He sacrificed a lot. I want to make sure that we keep the teams here. I want them to stay in New Orleans forever," Benson said.

Benson was given a B+ ranking in ownership by the NFLPA and the Saints are tied with Paris Saint-Germain and the Toronto Raptors as the 47th most valuable sports franchises, worth $4.4 billion each.

The New York Giants were founded in 1925 by Tim Mara and have been part of the Mara family ever since.

Team ownership was passed to Tim's sons, Jack and Wellington Mara, in 1959 and now the team is run by principal owner, CEO, and president John Mara, who took over in 2005 after his father, Wellington's, death. John Mara had already been with the organization since 1991.

However, while John Mara is listed as the team's principal owner, he's actually shared ownership with Steve Tisch since 2005.

Steve Tisch's father, Preston Robert Tisch, purchased a 50% stake in the Giants in 1991, and after his death, Steve became chairman and executive vice president.

Together, Mara and Tisch helped plan and build MetLife Stadium and the team has won two Super Bowls (2008 and 2012) under their leadership. However, the team has struggled in recent years, winning just three games this season.

Still, the Giants are the seventh most valuable team in sports, worth $7.3 billion, per Forbes, and Mara and Tisch were given a B+ ownership ranking by the NFLPA. Tisch has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, Forbes reported, while Mara reportedly has a net worth of $500 million.

Woody Johnson — of Johnson & Johnson lineage — purchased the New York Jets in 2000 for $635 million. Forbes estimated in 2024 that the Johnson family had a net worth of $16 billion.

The Jets have struggled under his leadership, having failed to make the playoffs for the past 14 seasons. Johnson was also recently accused of letting his teenage sons, Brick and Jack, make decisions for the organization, as reported by The Athletic and ESPN's Rich Cimini in December 2024. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers also joked during a December 2024 interview with "The Pat McAfee Show" that "being released by a teenager" would be a first if he were to be let go from the Jets at the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Johnson denied those claims in a January 2025 interview with the New York Post, telling the outlet they were "unsubstantiated" and that his son Brick "has no role in the organization." Johnson added, "When you're losing games, it gives people the artistic license to kind of do what they want."

When reached by Business Insider for a comment, a representative for the Jets shared the earlier comments made to the New York Post.

The Jets finished the season 5-12 and will be looking to hire a new head coach and GM after the firings of Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas. Still, the team is considered the ninth most valuable franchise in sports, worth $6.9 billion, and Johnson was given a B- ownership ranking by the NFLPA in February 2024.

Businessman Jeffrey Lurie purchased the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994 for $185 million. He now serves as the team's chairman and CEO; and he and his family have an estimated net worth of $5.3 billion, according to Forbes.

Under his leadership, the Eagles have made the playoffs 19 times and won one of their three Super Bowl appearances.

Lurie was given an A ranking by the NFLPA, and the team is now worth $6.6 billion, per Forbes, making it the 12th most valuable franchise in sports, alongside Real Madrid.

Similar to the Mara family and the Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been part of the Rooney family since 1933, when the team was founded by Art Rooney. He remained the team's chairman until his death in 1988.

After his death, his son Dan Rooney took over ownership until his death in 2017.

Now, Dan's son, Art Rooney II, is responsible for most of the franchise's stake. However, he's been an active member of the organization since 1989, when he was first on the team's board of directors. He was named president of the Steelers in 2003.

Since 2017, the Steelers have made five playoff appearances, though they've failed to get past the divisional round. Despite recent difficulties, the Steelers remain one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, with six Super Bowl wins from eight appearances.

The Steelers are the 28th most valuable team in sports, per Forbes, worth $5.3 billion. In 2015, Forbes reported that the Rooney family had an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion.

However, Art Rooney II was given one of the lowest ownership rankings — an F — by the NFLPA at the conclusion of the 2024 season. Some of players' complaints about the Steelers organization included in the report card are outdated lockers in the locker room, lack of access to individualized care, and average quality weight room equipment.

The Steelers did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

In 1977, Edward DeBartolo Sr. paid $13 million for the San Francisco 49ers to give to his son, Edward DeBartolo Jr.

Edward DeBartolo Jr. ran the 49ers organization throughout the '80s and '90s, leading to five Super Bowl wins and securing his position in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But in 1998, DeBartolo pleaded guilty "to not reporting a bribe from a Louisiana government official," Forbes reported, so his sister, Denise DeBartolo York, took over ownership in 2001. DeBartolo Jr. was pardoned by Donald Trump in February 2020.

DeBartolo York and her husband, John York, have been cochairs of the team since then, while their son, Jed York, has been CEO since 2010.

In March 2024, ESPN reported that Jed York was moving to become the team's principal owner. "I think it's just a move from a family standpoint to just keep this team in our family for generations to come," he said, per ESPN.

Though the team hasn't won a Super Bowl since 1994, it has remained competitive. In the last six seasons, the 49ers have made four NFC Championship and two Super Bowl appearances.

The 49ers are the 10th most valuable franchise in sports, worth $6.8 billion, and the DeBartolo-York family received an A in ownership from the NFLPA. They have an estimated net worth of $6.7 billion, according to Forbes.

The Seattle Seahawks are owned by the Paul G. Allen Estate.

Paul G. Allen was the cofounder of Microsoft alongside Bill Gates. He purchased the Seahawks in 1997 for $194 million.

Since his death in 2018, his estate has been controlled by his sister, Jody Allen. He had an estimated net worth of $20.3 billion. In July 2024, Sports Illustrated reported she is the team's principal owner and that there's a "mandate that she eventually sells the team and donates the proceeds to charitable causes" Paul Allen supported.

Other members of the Seahawks' senior leadership include president Chuck Arnold and GM John Schneider.

The Seahawks have been steady since 2018, with four playoff appearances, though they have not progressed beyond the divisional round since 2014.

The team is valued at $5.45 billion by Forbes, making it tied with the LA Dodgers for 24th most valuable sports franchise. Jody Allen was given a C+ in ownership.

Ownership of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is split between the six siblings of the Glazer family: Avram Glazer, Bryan Glazer, Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, Edward Glazer, Joel Glazer, and Kevin Glazer.

The team was purchased by their father, Malcolm Glazer, in 1995 for $192 million, and they inherited it after his death in 2014. As of 2024, the Glazer family has an estimated net worth of $10 billion.

On the Buccaneers' team site Bryan, Edward, Joel Glazer are listed as the team's cochairmen, but Joel (pictured above) is the only sibling specifically named in the NFLPA's team report card, which gave ownership a D-. One primary concern in the report is the locker room's lack of cleanliness. The Buccaneers did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The Buccaneers have won two Super Bowls (2003 and 2021) under the Glazer family and are worth $5.4 billion, according to Forbes, making the team the 26th highest valued franchise in the world. The family also owns Premier League team Manchester United.

Amy Adams Strunk, who has an estimated net worth of $2 billion, is the controlling owner and cochair of the Tennessee Titans, having inherited the team in March 2015 after the death of her father, KS "Bud" Adams, in 2013. (Adams founded the team as the Houston Oilers in 1960.)

Since 2015, the Titans have had six winning seasons, including four playoff berths. The team struggled during the 2024 season, though, producing only three wins.

As an owner, Adams Strunk has worked to increase the team's staff by more than 150 percent and has been a key figure in getting approval for a new stadium, the Titans reported. She was awarded a B+ in ownership by the NFLPA and the team is tied with the Houston Rockets for 37th most valuable franchise, worth $4.9 billion, per Forbes.

In 2023, investor Josh Harris purchased the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder for a record $6.05 billion. He made the purchase through the Harris Ownership Group, which includes limited partners like former NBA star Magic Johnson, investor David Blitzer, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

"I feel an awesome responsibility to the city of Washington," Harris said after the sale, per ESPN. "I know what I've got to do. It comes down to winning. It's on me and on our ownership group to deliver. That's what we're going to do."

Harris has an estimated net worth of $10.8 billion, per Forbes.

On Sunday, January 12, the Commanders won their first playoff game since 2006 under the leadership of head coach Dan Quinn and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Harris was given a B in ownership by the NFLPA after his first season with the team. The Commanders are the 16th most valuable franchise in sports, worth $6.3 billion, according to Forbes.
