Who Will Be The Next Owner Of The Cardinals?

     Rumors have been swirling for years that the Dewitt family is planning on selling the Cardinals. That would be a valid reason why they refuse to spend money (but that's for another day). The rumor is they are going to sell when the great lockout of 2026 is over. I have compiled a list of people from St. Louis and Missouri that I think could buy the Cardinals.

The Taylor Family - $19 Billion

The Taylor family has the Enterprise Rent-A-Car fortune. The third generation of the family, Chrissy Taylor, is currently the CEO and is one of the owners of the MLS team in St. Louis. They have already shown interest in STL sports and they might have a chance to continue the Cardinal tradition.

The Kemper Family - Unknown

Everyone knows the Kemper family. Do you remember Erin from The Office? She is apart of that family. What you probably didn't know is that her family owns the Commerce Bank empire. I couldn't find an exact number of their net worth, but I assume it's an insane amount considering they own a bank company.

David Steward - $11.4 Billion

Steward is the co-founder of World Wide Technology and is the person most likely to buy the Cards. There has been that he has been looking to be the owner of an NBA or NFL team if they ever expanded to St. Louis, the MLB might be the easier route for him.

Pauline MacMillan Keinath - $7.3 Billion

Pauline is the heiress to the Cargill fortune. She still lives in St. Louis and is one of the wealthiest women in the world.

Jack Dorsey - $4.9 Billion

Jack invented Twitter as well as Square. He hasn't really advertised he's from St. Louis or has shown any interest in sports, but hey, you never know.

Jim Kavanaugh - $4.7 Billion

Jim is the other Co-Founder of World Wide and is also a minority owner in the St. Louis MLS team. He's a SLU grad and has already shown interest in investing in a sports team in St. Louis.

Rodger Riney - $3.6 Billion

Riney is the founder of Scottrade. He is credited for making investing easy and more accessible for average people. He sold his company to TD Ameritrade in 2017, so perhaps he has some extra money to spend.

Robert Clark - $2.9 Billion

Robert is the founder Clayco construction in 1984. It is now one the largest construction firms in the country.

Sam Altman - $1.1 Billion

Believe it or not, the CEO of OpenAi grew up in St. Louis and went to John Burroughs. He may not be interested in purchasing a sports team though. I have a feeling he's focusing on other things.
