In the Owner’s Words: After his bid for Wembley, Khan said: “Today’s news changes none of what we envision for the long-term promise for the Jaguars here in Jax, and it changes nothing as to the goals we have for your downtown.” He added: “And the stronger the Jaguars are in London, the more stable and promising the Jaguars’ future will be in Jacksonville.” more
How They Acquired the Franchise: Kahn purchased the team from Wayne Weaver in 2011 for $770 million.

In addition to the Jaguars, Khan also owns the Fulham Football Club and is in the process of buying Wembley Stadium in London.
Shahid is also a true rags to riches story. Perhaps one of the best rags to riches stories ever.
Long before he was a billionaire manufacturing magnate, Shahid lived in a $2 a night YMCA room and earned just $1.20 per hour washing dishes. Today Shahid Khan is worth $9 billion. And what better way to cap off the American Dream than to buy an NFL team?! Only in America can one rise from poverty to billionaire NFL franchise owner. This is his incredible story…
A month before he turned 21, Khan graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering. He elected to take a job in Champaign with an aftermarket auto parts company called Flex-N-Gate . The year was 1971.
The price of the deal was not announced; however, it is estimated to fall between £150-200 million.
Currently, Flex-N-Gate is the 46th largest private USA company as ranked by Forbes in 2020. more

Khan designed the company business structure to see that Flex-N-Gate supplied bumpers for the Big Three automakers.
In 1980, he purchased the Flex-N-Gate company from Charles Gleason Butzow, his former employer, and brought Bumper Works into the Flex-N-Gate business fold.
The company has experienced rapid growth in its sales since the late 1980s. more
Khan didn’t disclose the size of his investment, but a source familiar with the deal said it exceeded $25 million. Another called it “open-ended,” adding that “whatever Khan gets involved in, he’s in all the way.”
