Lurie made most of his fortune in the movie production business. Since buying the Eagles in 1994, he’s turned them into consistent winners playing to sellout crowds at state-of-the-art Lincoln Field, which carried a $140 million naming rights deal. Lurie bought the Philadelphia Eagles on May 6, 1994 from then-owner Norman Braman for $195 million. Forbes valued the team at $1.1 billion as of 2010. Before purchasing the Eagles, Lurie served as the president and chief executive officer of Chestnut Hill Productions, a Los Angeles-based film company, which he founded in 1985.
