Wellington Mara
The son of Tim Mara, who founded the New York Giants in 1925, Wellington Mara was a co-owner of that team from 1959 until his death. Under his ownership and leadership, the Giants were one of the most successful NFL teams, but the League benefited from his vision as well: Wellington and his brother Jack, as the owners of the team in the NFL's largest market, agreed to a program that shared television revenue from major markets with smaller ones, thereby creating more parity among the teams. Among his 42 grandchildren are the the actresses Kate Mara and Rooney Mara.
