American businessman, philanthropist, and owner of the National Football League team, the Houston Texans, Robert C. "Bob" McNair, has a net worth of $3.8 billion. He founded Cogen Technologies and sold the then-largest privately held power company to Enron for $1.5 billion in cash and stock at peak of the tech bubble. McNair cashed out of Cogen Technologies at the right time - selling to Enron just before its collapse. His club's $300 million stadium naming rights deal with Reliant is the league's richest. His stake in Houston Texans is worth $630 million net of debt.
