Jim Irsay may cause a lot of controversy, but there is one fact about Irsay that is not controversial: he is a very rich man.
Irsay was ranked 33rd on Forbes’ list with a net worth of $2.7 Billion. Among NFL owners, Irsay ranks 14th in net worth.
Irsay‘s father bought the Baltimore Colts in 1971, and Jim joined the Colts’ staff at just 23 years old. Jim’s was named the Vice President and General Manager of the Colts just two years later.
Jim started to run the Colts’ day-to-day operations in 1995 after his father suffered a stroke, and he inherited the team after a legal battle with his stepmother following his father’s death in 1997.
