DEAN SPANOS

Chairman Los Angeles Chargers

As long as his NFL team shares the home turf at SoFi Stadium and keeps quarterback Justin Herbert as its star attraction, Spanos, 71, has a franchise that continues to increase in value – up to an estimated $2.9 billion, up from $2.2 billion in 2018. His latest project is coordinating a new training facility (estimated cost at more than $100 million) in El Segundo that breaks ground soon. He and his wife Susie were honored with the Make-A-Wish Ambassador of Hope Award from Make-A-Wish OC and Make-A-Wish L.A. in December. Spanos continues to head the family-owned organization with the help of sons John (president of football operations) and A.G. (president of business operations).
