The Billion-Dollar Family Behind The New York Yankees Is Richer Than Ever | Forbes

The New York Yankees are the most valuable team in baseball, and in large part because of the late George Steinbrenner’s moves, his heirs are billionaires.

George Steinbrenner, at the time of his death 12 years ago, was worth $1.1 billion. Now, Forbes estimates that siblings Hal Steinbrenner, Jessica Steinbrenner and Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal each got one-fourth of George’s estate and are each worth roughly $1.3 billion or more, primarily from the family’s controlling ownership of Yankee Global Enterprises.
