Stephen Ross Turned Down $10 BILLION For the Dolphins

That's an insane amount of $$$ to turn down. But, if I had $$$ like an NFL owner, I would probably not be worried about it either if I just loved being around and a part of the game.

He already has $10 billion. What's he going to do with another $10 billion? You can't spend that much in a lifetime and he's an old man. I'm guessing owning the team brings him a lot of joy and notoriety.

 

I know a lot of people who own businesses that could sell and retire but then nobody will know or care who they are so they sit in their office and just enjoy being the "big guy." There's definitely more to life than money, especially if you already have enough

Totally agree that there's more to life than money but sitting in a corner office rotting while people kiss your ass simply because you have money is quite possibly one of the most pathetic uses of time I can think of lol. But I guess that's why I haven't made a billion dollars!

And some people might think being retired baking in the sun on the beach is a waste. But to each their own! Do what makes you happy I say 😄

If Pegula does get $2 Billion, he better put a roof on that thing he's building. 

I actually will be fine right now with no roof. I just hope it’s built with the potential to add a roof later. The NFL will be an indoor/ warm climate sport in a couple decades.

That 10B$ still isn’t enough money for Tyreek to pay all the child support he owes 

Or settle all of his lawsuits for various assaults

Considering Miami is going to be under water in ~20 years, I don't know that he made a wise decision. 

 

Considering his age he'll probably be under the ground in half that time so why should he care?

Just to have the option is very good.
