Well, he didn't own it. He was offered a "buy-in" by the owners of the Texas Rangers. I believe they "loaned" him the 400,000, or was it 600,000 dollars to purchase his share of the team. He became a "talking head" of sorts for the team, a front man, and when the team was sold, he collected something like 12,000,000 for all of the hard work he did. I believe that is the basis for his fortune, other than what he'll come to by inheritance. God knows, he certainly didn't earn it in his other business ventures.
