Who is Shad Khan? Networth, family, and all we know about Jaguars owner

Shahid "Shad" Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has been in the headlines even before the Super Bowl. Khan's struggle-filled history and the lavish life that he and his family currently lead have always inspired and gotten the attention of people. However, many wonder how he climbed up the stairs of success and what his net worth is.

First, one must understand who Khan is and where he comes from. He is a Pakistani-American businessman whose story of struggle dates decades back. Most people first heard of Khan in November 2011 for the first time when Wayne Weaver announced him as the next owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Weaver was the founder of Jaguars who gave up the company more than a decade ago.

However, this is not where Khan's story begins. Shad Khan was born and raised in Pakistan. He later immigrated to the USA and cleaned dishes for a living, earning $1.20 an hour in Illinois.

While life seemed hard, Khan did not shy away from making it as big as possible.

As an engineer, he designed a one-piece truck bumper that became the basis for his success. In 1980, he bought his previous employer, Flex-N-Gate, and grew it to the point that the company now has 76 plants worldwide and over 27,000 employees.

While Khan stepped into the business of sports, the NFL is not the only kind of football he is into. In 2013, the billionaire purchased the England soccer club Fulham F.C. They competed in England's Premier League and have had their own ups and downs like the Jaguars.

After reaching a certain stage of success, Khan also ventured into capital investment. In 2013, he pledged $1 million to invest in the creators at the One Spark festival.
