FRISCO, Texas -- Thirty years ago today, Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Stadium for $140 million.
On numerous occasions, Jones has said the Cowboys were losing $1 million a month when he took over. Now, the Cowboys are the highest-valued sports franchise in the world at $4.8 billion, according to Forbes.
So much has transpired in the 30 years, as Jones has gone from one of the NFL's outsiders to the most powerful owner in the league.
"I really can say this genuinely, I haven't worked a day in 30 years," Jones said last week.
