Malcolm Glazer Richest NFC South Owner
March 15th, 2010
This should get the masses irritated.
On the heels of learning the Bucs are tied for the lowest payroll in the NFL comes word that Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer is the richest of the four NFC South owners.
Listy Forbes compiled another list (shocking!) documenting the world’s most monied people. The Glazer Family, again, per Forbes, has slightly more cash than Joe, via Vacation Man of BSPN.com.
Glazer and his family are tied for 400th with a net worth of $2.4 billion. For context, Oprah Winfrey is one of the people the Glazers are tied with.
Joe’s guessing the comments field on this post will reach double-digits rather quickly.
Of course, Forbes, normally a highly respected publication, comes up with these types of lists as a slick way to sell magazines and lure eyeballs to its website.
Without accessing tax records, there’s no way of documenting the accuracy of these Forbes’ lists.

Do they include leveraged debt into the equation?

Well we sure as hell know where he isn’t spending that fortune, don’t we!

Why do they take the position that we just absolutely have to spend no money and totally suck because they are negotiating the CBA?
Do these guys believe that NFL players aren’t going to have to be paid in the future? The Saints don’t seem to think they have to suck.
I don’t follow their reasoning.

Hasn’t he been since the day he bought the team? This is news?

Now if the wonder twins will just follow daddy’s example of getting a championship the world will be a better place………back to the cheerleader pics 😛

Seems to me that the Glazer’s are going to have to do something to dispel the notion that they are Culverhouse reincarnated. I mean season ticket renewal for a lot of fans are in jeopardy. Empty seats mean black outs and diminished concession sales as well. Any attempt at spending would help. To be tied for last in spending after the 5 years of being last in salaries is more than a lot of folks can take.

Matt,
To answer your first question, yes, since I’ve owned the team. WHAT! WHAT!
I’m rich, look like the old guy from Jurassic Park minus the white hair, and have a kick ass beard. I’m so rich, I may even purchase another sports franchise and let my idiot sons run that organization to the ground! The money is in the bank!
Word to your mothers,
Mr. Glazer
P.S. Thanks Big Mike C. I’ve always wanted to use your line ever since you dropped that ish last season.

I’m so depressed about the future prospects of the team. On the upside, I am almost assured a win when I select the opposing team on my Yahoo Pro Pick-em.

Unbelievable the news just keeps getting more disheartenting and
tough to stomach. I may not be able to eat tonight.

This is crap.
All Forbes does is total up what all thier ASSETS are worth , and Man U is worth 1 Billion dollars by itself.
What they don’t factor is how much DEBT ….so yeah it’s complete crap.

Mr. Mushmouth: Net worth and assets are not the same. New worth is just what the words say “net” worth.

Net Worth definiton:
“For a company, total assets minus total liabilities. Net worth is an important determinant of the value of a company, considering it is composed primarily of all the money that has been invested since its inception”
So , yeah, basically Net worth and assets ARE the same thing. This report is bogus , because the glazers are drowning in debt.
