Had to check that link to see how the hell Roger Staubach made that list.

Staubach started a real estate company in 1977 while still playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. He sold the business to Jones Lang Lasalle in 2008 and the multi-year payout totaled $640 million. Staubach owned 12% of the company when he sold it. He put half of his share into a trust for his children. Last year was the final payout on the JLL sale and also included a $36.9 million earn-out for Staubach Company reaching certain targets. Staubach's estimated income includes the roughly $4 million directed towards a trust for his children.

12% of $640MM is $76.8MM

Smart man.

If you ain't tryna turn your 1 mill into 10 mill and your 10 mill into 100 mill, you're playing the game wrong.

No such thing as being too rich. Tell that to your grand kid's grand kid's grand kids and the millions of starving children all over the world who could use your help.

Staubach is worth half a billy. All american QB from the naval academy. QB of America's Team. Plus he was here when Dallas economy was booming in the 70s and 80s from the oil boom. He'd eating off his contacts from those days.
