ST. LOUIS — Rams owner Stanley Kroenke doesn't want the public to know just how much he's really worth.
The multibillionaire businessman and NFL football team owner has petitioned the Missouri Supreme Court to stop a St. Louis judge's order that he produce a slew of records detailing his net worth so that a jury can assess punitive damages at next January's trial over the Rams' 2016 move to California.
"Absent this Court’s intervention, Mr. Kroenke’s wife and multiple private entities — including other sports franchises, management groups, a winery, and several other businesses — will be required to disclose sensitive financial information, even though they were not involved in the Rams’ relocation and there is no scenario in which punitive damages could be awarded against them," Kroenke's petition Thursday to the Missouri Supreme Court said.
