Forbes names Gayle Benson, New Orleans Saints owner, as most powerful woman in sports
Gayle took control after her husband Tom Benson died in 2018, making her the only woman to own an NFL and NBA franchise, according to Forbes. Together, the Saints and Pelicans carry a combined valuation of $8.35 billion. Benson has a personal net worth of $7.9 billion.
Forbes states that under Benson’s leadership, the Saints became the first franchise with marketing rights in France, partnering with the Paris Musketeers of the European League of Football. Her efforts also include bringing the recent Super Bowl to New Orleans.
In February, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised Benson in a statement, saying, “”In business, philanthropy and football, Gayle is a leader, always advocating for the Saints and her native city.”
