The New England Patriots turned from near-relocation to dynasty under his watch - six Super Bowl titles in two decades made Robert Kraft the face of modern NFL ownership, though his fortune started in paper and packaging, not touchdowns.

About this person

Born June 5, 1941, Robert Kraft built the Kraft Group into a diversified holding company spanning paper, packaging, real estate, and private equity before buying the New England Patriots in 1994. Two years later he founded the New England Revolution, bringing Major League Soccer to Boston. In 2017 he launched the Boston Uprising, an Overwatch League esports team that folded in January 2024. Forbes pegged his net worth at $11.1 billion as of July 2024 - a portfolio built on industries far removed from the gridiron, though the Patriots remain his most visible stake.
