The Buffalo Bills are a beast of a team, and everyone can see from a glance that it is built on solid ground. Of course, the owners, Kim and Terry Pegula, deserve credit for the team’s foundation. Many fans know little about the two billionaires, and they and their daughter Jessica Pegula are the subject of considerable speculation. Let’s have a look at them all and know more.
Who are Kim and Terry Pegula?
Many of you are already aware of Terry Pegula’s success as a self-made businessman. The man is well-known for his incredible achievements in business. For those who don’t know, he began his profession from the ground up, borrowing $7500 from his parents. He used this money to buy acreage in the Marcellus Shale, a rocky deposit that extends between West Virginia and New York.
