The Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made it to the top three in the Forbes Most Valuable Sports Empires 2023 list. The Jerry Jones Group, which owns the Cowboys franchise, is valued at $11.32 billion. It is the third biggest sports empire in the world. The only two ahead are Liberty Media and the Los Angeles Rams owner Kroenke’s Sports and Entertainment. 

Jones was at the fourth spot last year with a value of $8.85 billion. Jones bought the Cowboys back in 1989 for $140 million. He led the franchise to three Super Bowl championships as the owner and general manager. And though they haven’t won the Vince Lombardi since 1996, the Cowboys are always a force to reckon with. Along with the Cowboys, Jones also co-owns the Legends Hospitality with the Yankee Global Enterprises, the seventh on the list.

The Cowboys fans believed it was their year. And the team came within a touching distance of their goal. But everything fell apart on that night at the Levi’s Stadium. Dak Prescott and his offense could not find the key to the best defense in the NFL.

The Cowboys defense played their part and kept Brock Purdy relatively silent. The Niners QB did not score a single touchdown in the game. And Prescott did throw one touchdown pass. But he also threw two picks. And the Niners run offense did the rest. The home team got the better of the Cowboys 19-12 and made their way to the NFC championship game. And the Cowboys’ wait grew another year longer.
