Whenever people think about the NFL, they think about each team’s players, coaches, and fan bases.
However, when it comes to the owners, everyone thinks about what they do or fail to do to improve their NFL teams each season, and perhaps what else they achieve in the business world, to belong to the rare group of owners of an NFL team.
Here at TPS, we will rank each NFL owner based on their wealth and what they’ve accomplished in their lives.
Today, we present the rankings for all 32 NFL teams ranked by the wealth of their Owners, From Least to Most.
Who are the wealthiest NFL team owners today?
32) Green Bay Packers: N/A
The Packers don’t have a principal owner. However, they are the only publicly owned team in the NFL and professional sports in the United States. The Packers have about 537,460 stockholders with an estimated $5.2 million in shared stock. The stockholders for the Packers can elect a board of directors, and the team has a president and CEO in Mark Murphy, who will be retiring after the 2025 season.

Brown has been the Bengals’ owner ever since he inherited the team from his father, Paul Brown. Although Brown has made some questionable decisions while in control of the Bengals, the team did reach Super Bowl 56 with Joe Burrow under center. Brown spent his entire working career with the Bengals organization since 1968, and is currently the oldest NFL owner after Virginia Halas McCaskey passed away at 102. Football is definitely in his blood.
30) Pittsburgh Steelers: Art Rooney II – $1.2 Billion
Rooney II took over the Steelers franchise in 2017 after his father, Dan Rooney, passed away. Rooney II has done a very good job maintaining the Steelers’ legacy, overseeing the team reach the playoffs five times so far. Rooney II also has a career in the legal profession, as he holds an Of Counsel position with the law firm Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney, and is actively involved in the Pittsburgh community, devoting his time to organizations in the city. Hopefully, the Steelers can win their first playoff game since the 2016-17 season under Rooney II’s watch soon.
29) Chicago Bears: George McCaskey – $1.3 Billion
McCaskey inherited control of the Bears from his mother, Virginia Halas McCaskey, in February 2025.

McCaskey has worked a majority of his life with the Bears’ organization, working as the senior vice president of ticket operations from 1991 until 2004, and has been a member of the team’s board of directors since 2004.

Tisch is also a movie producer, while Mara’s two daughters are actresses. Mara and Tisch’s Giants haven’t been the best football team to watch in the 2020s, but we’ll have to see what the team will do in the 2025 season with Russell Wilson under center.
23) Las Vegas Raiders: Mark Davis – $2.3 Billion

Bisciotti became the majority owner of the Ravens in 2004, and oversaw the team win Super Bowl 47, and is a solid playoff contender for most of their days so far.
