Biography & Early Wealth Journey

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

Ross bought his majority stake in the Dolphins in 2009, spending $1 billion. He's also put about $730 million into renovating Hard Rock Stadium, where both the Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes play their home games. The stadium has hosted the Orange Bowl, F1 events, and tennis tournaments and will be the home for some 2026 FIFA World Cup soccer matches.

When Dan Snyder sold the Washington Commanders to an investor group led by Josh Snyder earlier this year, the deal was valued at over $6 billion. This deal could be worth potentially even more than that, which would be a record for an NFL franchise.

Griffin founded Citadel, a hedge fund that currently manages about $65 billion worth of assets. He moved both his company and his family to Miami last year.

Ross has made his money in real estate, primarily investing in buildings in Miami and New York. He's also a holder in Relevent Sports Group, which has a joint partnership with LaLiga. The 83-year-old Ross could use money from the Dolphins deal to invest in another sporting venture.
