Vegas Golden Knights

Bill Foley, a billionaire and chairman of Fidelity National Financial, was awarded the NHL's 31st franchise in 2016, paying a $500 million expansion fee. The Vegas Golden Knights became one of the most successful expansion teams in professional sports history, reaching the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural 2017-18 season and winning the Stanley Cup in 2023. Foley's commitment to creating a world-class organization in a non-traditional hockey market has been transformative for the sport in the American Southwest.

Bill Foley's business empire extends well beyond hockey, including Foley Family Wines, one of the largest wine companies in North America. He also has interests in European soccer, owning AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League and other football clubs through the Black Knight Football Club umbrella.
