And here's a snippet:
Arizona Cardinals: Bill Bidwill
Owner Since: 1972
The Numbers: Forbes estimates the Cardinals are worth $961 million, making them the 24th most valuable team in the NFL.
Moving Man: Bidwill moved the team from St. Louis after his demands for a new stadium weren’t met.
How He Got Rich: Bidwill inherited the Cardinals from his father, Charles. Charles was a wealthy Chicago lawyer, and according to the book From Sandlots to the Super Bowl: The National Football League, 1920-1967, he had connections to Al Capone.
