Alright, so y’all wanna know about this fella, Jerry Jones, and how much money he’s got, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s a whole lotta dough! They call it “net worth,” sounds fancy, but it just means how much stuff he owns minus what he owes. Simple as that.
This Jerry Jones fella, he’s a big shot. He owns somethin’ called the Dallas Cowboys. Now, I ain’t no football expert, but I hear them Cowboys is a pretty big deal. Been around for ages, and folks love ’em or hate ’em, but they sure do bring in the money. Jerry, he bought them Cowboys way back in 1989, paid a whole heap of money for ’em, somethin’ like 150 million dollars. Can ya believe that? That’s more money than I’ll ever see in ten lifetimes!
But Jerry, he didn’t just get rich off them Cowboys. Nope. He was already makin’ a name for himself way before that. He was in the oil business, drillin’ holes in the ground and hopin’ to strike it rich. And wouldn’t ya know it, he did! Struck oil more times than a woodpecker hits a tree. They say he struck oil in 12 outta his first 13 wells. That’s some kinda luck, or maybe he just knew what he was doin’. He made his first million way back in the 1970s. Back then, a million dollars was a whole lot more than it is now, let me tell ya.
And he didn’t stop there. He went into fast food, you know, them burger joints and such. Made some more money there, too. And he kept on investin’ in oil, and in houses, and land, all sorts of stuff. He’s a smart one, that Jerry. He knows how to make money and how to keep it.
- He made money in oil. Drilled a bunch of holes and found a bunch of oil. That’s how he got started.
- He bought the Dallas Cowboys. That was a big investment, but it paid off big time.
- He’s got other businesses too. Fast food, real estate, you name it, he’s probably got his fingers in it.
So, how much is he worth now, you ask? Well, that depends on who you ask and when you ask ’em. Them fellas who keep track of these things, they say his net worth is somewhere between 10 billion and 15 billion dollars. Yeah, you heard that right. Billion, with a “B.” That’s so much money, I can’t even wrap my head around it. Some folks say it was 14.2 billion in June of 2024, then they say it went up to 15.5 billion by October. Then some other folks say it’s around 10.5 billion in 2024. Who really knows for sure? But one thing’s for certain, the man’s got more money than he knows what to do with.
He’s what they call a billionaire. That means he’s got at least a thousand million dollars. Shoot, I’d be happy with just a thousand dollars! But Jerry, he’s got thousands and thousands of millions. It’s hard to imagine, ain’t it?
Now, I don’t know Jerry Jones personally, never met the man. But from what I hear, he’s a shrewd businessman, a real go-getter. He knows how to spot an opportunity and he ain’t afraid to take a risk. And that’s how you make a fortune, I guess. You gotta be willing to take chances, work hard, and maybe have a little bit of luck on your side, too.
So, there you have it. That’s the story of Jerry Jones and his net worth, as best as I can tell ya. He’s a rich fella, made his money in oil, football, and a bunch of other stuff. And he’s still goin’ strong, as far as I know. Probably makin’ even more money as we speak. That’s just the way it is for some folks, I guess. They just got a knack for makin’ money.
And you know what? Good for him. He worked hard for it, and he deserves it. Just wish he’d spread a little of that wealth around to folks like me, but that’s a whole ‘nother story for a different day.
