Jeanie Marie Buss
Net Worth
: $500 million
Owns
: Los Angeles Lakers (NBA)
I’m going to tell you right now that the women who own sports teams are far and few between. So why not start with a female tycoon? She and her sisters inherited the LA Lakers after their father Jerry Buss passed away in 2013. I feel the need to say that it’s awesome to see that there are powerful women in the world of sports, which needless to say is a male-dominated field.

Buss is the owner of Women of Wrestling as well as the Los Angeles Lakers, who are really one of the most loved sports teams in the world. Buss had a publicized battle due to her ownership of the Lakers over signing LeBron James, the NBA super-superstar. It remains to be seen whether she did the right move or not.
