Lurie’s journey started in 1994 when he borrowed a significant sum to purchase the Eagles for $185 million. Fast forward to today, and the team’s value has soared to $4.9 billion, making Lurie’s wallet a lot heavier with a staggering $4.4 billion.

Interestingly, Lurie almost became the owner of another NFL team in 1994. He had his sights set on the New England Patriots but withdrew from the bidding war when the price hit $150 million, deeming it too steep. Ultimately, Robert Kraft bought the team for $172 million.
