Who is Stan Kroenke? Wife, Family, Salary & Net Worth

Biography

Every Arsenal fan has heard of this businessman. They loved him once, but Silent Stan is not the hero he once was. Born on July 29th, 1947, in Columbia, Missouri, USA, this investor had an avid interest in numbers and businesses from an early age. He embarked on a career as a businessman after receiving a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Missouri. Kroenke turned down a paid fellowship for a doctorate at the University of Missouri one year later and began working for a retail developer named Raul Walters. Raul had built some of Wal-Mart’s stores. In 1979, Walters partnered with Kroenke, and they developed 20 retail malls across the Midwest. He just didn’t get this opportunity by chance.

Wal-Mart remained one of Kroenke’s most important clients throughout this period. In fact, they still do. Stan even joined its board of directors in 1995 and stayed on until 2000.As a sports fan, it was quite natural that Stan was going to be making his entry into sports. He bought the Nuggets in 2000, and by 2010, he was the full owner of the St. Louis Rams. A year later, Silent Stan became the majority owner of the Gunners. Although his American teams have won him laurels, Arsenal is yet to win him a major trophy. It’s like a thorn in his flesh and he’d want to sort that out as soon as possible. Stan, who entered the sports team ownership business in 1994, has been in the game for too long and knows that his patience will pay off. It always does.
