Forbes recently released its updated list of the world's billionaires, and Terry Pegula, the owner of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, made the cut, ranking as the 355th richest person globally with a net worth of $9.3 billion.
Why it matters
Pegula's inclusion on the Forbes Billionaire List highlights his immense wealth and business success, particularly from his previous ventures in the oil and gas industry. As the owner of two major professional sports franchises in Buffalo, Pegula's financial standing is of significant interest to fans and the local community.
The details
Pegula amassed his $9.3 billion fortune primarily from the sale of his oil and gas company to Royal Dutch Shell in 2010 for $4.7 billion. He then used those funds to purchase the Buffalo Sabres in 2011 and the Buffalo Bills in 2014. While Pegula is among the world's wealthiest individuals, he is still well behind the top billionaires, such as Elon Musk, Larry Page, and Jeff Bezos.
- Forbes released its updated Billionaire List on March 25, 2026.
The players
Terry Pegula
The owner of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, who made his fortune in the oil and gas industry before transitioning to sports team ownership.

Rob Walton
The owner of the Denver Broncos, who is the richest NFL team owner with an estimated net worth of $148 billion.
The takeaway
Pegula's inclusion on the Forbes Billionaire List underscores the immense wealth and financial power of professional sports team owners, particularly in the NFL and NHL. While Pegula's net worth pales in comparison to the world's top billionaires, his ownership of the Bills and Sabres ensures he remains one of the most influential figures in Buffalo's sports landscape.
