Forbes released its updated list of the richest sports owners in the world for 2021 and it’s no surprise that Stan Kroenke is among the 15 wealthiest. According to Forbes, Kronke’s estimated net worth is $8.2 billion, making him the 14th-richest owner in sports.
He’s two spots behind Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ($8.9 billion) and six behind Panthers owner David Tepper ($14.5 billion), making him the third-richest owner in the NFL. In addition to the Rams, Kroenke also owns Arsenal, the Nuggets, the Avalanche and the Colorado Rapids, which are all held by Kronke Sports & Entertainment.
According to Forbes, Kronke’s net worth decreased by 18% in the last year, which could be partly due to the pandemic and the lost revenue for all his teams because of the absence of fans at games.
Kroenke, 73, founded Kroenke Sports & Entertainment in 1999. He purchased a 30% stake in the Rams in 1995, helping move the team from Anaheim to St. Louis. He then bought the rest of the team in 2010 and moved the Rams from St. Louis to Los Angeles in 2016.
The move back to L.A. has been a great one for the Rams, now playing in a state-of-the-art stadium, SoFi Stadium, which cost $5 billion to build.
