Correct . Not originally.Jerry's net worth is 8.4 billion. Being the team is worth a little more than half of his net worth I guess "a very small part" wasn't quite the proper wording.
He made his early wealth through the oil and gas business so no not "everything" can be attributed to him owning the team.........the oil business allowed him to initially purchase the team.
He put everything he had to pay cash for the Cowboys. About 140 million.
And why he was so hands on . His livelihood depended on the Cowboys success at that point. Unlike most owners.
His wealth since has been centered around and evolved from his success and revenue he generated from the Cowboys.
And much of his net worth includes the stadium, Star and facilities.
