Forbes has shared some extra details about the 83-year-old's fortune while highlighting some of the wealthiest figures across industries. According to the outlet, Jones and his family are worth $20.3 billion. This puts them at No. 125 in the world.
The Cowboys owner did not initially make his money in sports; he actually made his first million in oil in the 1970s. He continued building his fortune over the decades before ultimately purchasing the Dallas Cowboys for $150 million in 1989.
He has since gone on to make the team the most valuable in the NFL ever since while also continuing to invest in drilling projects and real estate. The Dallas Cowboys haven't reached the NFC championship game since winning the Super Bowl in 1995, but the team is still worth an estimated $13 billion.
In terms of the world's richest sports owners, Jones ranks much higher. The Dallas Cowboys owner is 13th in the world. He ranks just ahead of the Hartono brothers, Budi ($19.6 billion) and Michael ($18.9 billion), who own soccer club Como 1907.
Jones ranks just behind another NFL owner. Stanley Kroenke has amassed a fortune of $22.2 billion through real estate investments and sports franchises. He currently owns the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids, Arsenal FC and Arsenal Women FC.
Paris FC owner Bernard Arnault ranks first among sports owners, according to Forbes. He is worth an estimated $171 billion. Arnault is also CEO and chairman of LVMH, a luxury products company representing such brands as Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy, and TAG Heuer. LVMH is also a 10-year sponsorship partner of Formula 1.
Ranking No. 2 on the list of sports owners is Rob Walton, the son of Walmart co-founder Sam Walton. The 81-year-old who purchased the Denver Broncos is worth an estimated $146 billion.
