Gayle Benson
Franchise owner Gayle Benson took over a number of sports team after her husband Tom died. She basically inherited these franchises! The New Orleans native started out with a career in interior decoration. Her husband named her his heir even though many people thought that he would choose his kids instead. The squabble even went to court, where she emerged victorious as the official owner of his assets. The biggest of which might be the New Orleans Saints! She is now worth $2.8 billion.
