Jerry Jones' ownership stake

[Trouty]

is Jerry the sole, 100% owner of the Boys or are they're any small stake, minority owners with the team?

I would imagine he could make a fortune selling small groups of, say, 5% stakes, maybe even just a few.

 

[erod]

100 percent.

Bought the team for about $150 million if I recall. Now worth $6.2 bajillion.

 

[Trouty]

100 percent.

4.2. I'm aware he bought the team outright, just wondering if he's sold some small percentages over the years as the org value blew up.

Did somebody say Stake?

Jones originally had a couple of minority partners when he first bought the team (one was Ed Smith, the minority owner during the Bright era who confronted Tom Landry after a game about play calling). Jones bought those guys out in 1991, IIRC.

Interestingly enough, Smith is indirectly the reason why Jones and Johnson were caught in the famous photo of them eating dinner at Mia's, Landry's favorite restaurant, prior to the official announcement. Smith would not agree to stay on as a minority owner unless he met Johnson face to face and knew that he was on board.

And has never sold any percentage since, Plankton?

Nope, Jerry wants full control, and I think it's in the will that the team will stay in the family long after he's gone.

Irvin actually owns it. He just allows Jerry to have some fun

 

[Plankton]

No

 

[jwooten15]

My gosh... Today, the team is close to 27X more valuable than the price Jerry bought it for.

He may not be the best NFL GM, but he's by far the best NFL businessman.

Jerry had minor partners when he bought the team. They disappeared pretty quickly.

 

[csirl]

Will the team be divided up equally between Jerry's kids when he passes?

Only thing he has to worry about is the estate planning it will take to pass the team onto his 3 children without a giant tax bill

I'd like to own 5%, think Jerry would gift me 5%? I agree, Jerry could make a small fortune just selling a small percentage of the team.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

What percentage does the devil own?

I don't think he would, Lukin

What has 5% got to be worth? You can't even extrapolate that number from Forbes recent evaluation, as surely, if the Boys went on the market, they would get more than $4.2 bil. Considering the daggon Clippers got $2 bil.

Probably $300-400 mil for 5%. Easy, no?
