You can say that about any number of other NFL team owners.

Eddie D included. lol

Heres something else even more surprising: He went to public high school. Kind of. It was a catholic school in the Youngstown area of Ohio and his school football program played against my school (Woodrow Wilson High). Im 34 too and remember how well known he was in 'the whole city' as that "silver spoon" kid. He wasn't popular at all.

He lived in Austintown, and Canfield at times, right down the street from Boardman, the town where the Niners stayed a couple times

And now he owns the 49ers. I bet every girl who turned him down has a gun to her head right now

Yes except for the self made ones. Which is actually a lot of them. Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, Dan Snyder to name just a few. There are more actually. A lot of them started some business and made their money that way.

The Yorks / Debartolo's are rich from Jed's grandfather. It would Denise's father and Eddie D's father. That's how far back it goes. He built up the real estate business until they were very rich and bought the 49ers. Eddie D was indeed himself a rich kid as some others suggested. Hunt the owner of the Chiefs is also rich inheritance I believe.

There is some of both but a lot of self made ones too.

Actually 80% of millionaires are self made. Many start a business. Some invest for a full lifetime and compound interest over time builds up their wealth. Most of the Forbes 400 list even btw is self made. Look on there and it will tell you the source of their wealth. Most of them started some business that became very successful.

I think we got jinxed ever since that old lady in ownership said the dynasty is back during 2012 nfccg post game celebration

If York is running the show that's problem #1 but I doubt that's the case. York hasn't done anything to me that would suggest he's a problem.

Sure they have, right into Baalkes hands,

there are tons of other owners much older than Jed that don't know what they're doing. Look what happend to the Raiders and Al Davis (not including the recent loss)...I'm ok with Jed as long as he wants to win. It all starts at he top. As soon as John York stepped aside and Jed took over, things have gotten much better.

It's the desire to win. Not necessarily the age IMO.

Jed is just as big of a 49ers fan as any of us. Except he grew up like this:






He's one of us, people. He's what saved us from the downward spiral. He's the one that actually gives a s**t. To think anything else is simply incorrect.

+1

Yeah, I got no issues with Jed, his money, background, or age. He always came off like a down-to-Earth dude that was committed to making the 49ers great again.

Can't ever hate on that.
