The owner of the Texas Rangers since 1998, Tom Hicks made his fortune in cable television. He is infamous for giving the largest contract in baseball history to Alex Rodriguez.

In early 2007, he entered the English soccer business. Mr. Hicks also owns the Dallas Stars of the NHL, and keeps his business entities separate, according to MLB.com.

Along with Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett, he is investing in the Liverpool franchise of the English Premier League, say Ranger officials. The team's sale price is reportedly $450 million.
