The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Even though they haven’t been very successful in the field over the past years, their market value has continuously ascended. Jerry Jones, who is the owner of the Cowboys, should be credited for much of their success in the market.

When Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, he was ridiculed by the public. People all over the country believed that spending $140 million on a sports team is a waste of money. The Cowboys are now worth $6.5 billion. It was one of the best business decisions that Jones made.

Moreover, Jerry Jones bought a $250 million 357-foot long super-yacht in 2019. Its value has depreciated over the years like any other asset in a similar category. Surprisingly, the Cowboys’ owner wasn’t ridiculed for making this purchase. Jones has been quite good at making decisions. That is one of the reasons that he has been able to build a multi-billion dollar empire.
