abstract
  • James Arthur "Jimmy" Haslam III (born March 1954) is the current majority owner of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. He is also the former CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain. On October 16, 2012, Haslam's $1 billion purchase of the Browns was unanimously approved by the 32 teams in the NFL; the sale itself closed on October 25, 2012. His father, fellow businessman Jim Haslam, founded the Pilot Flying J company in 1958 as the Pilot Oil Corporation. Haslam, who lives in his native Knoxville, Tennessee, is brother to Bill Haslam, governor of Tennessee. While attending the University of Tennessee Haslam was roommate with Bob Corker who became U.S. senator from Tennessee. He was also a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008. In 2012, he reached an agreement with Browns owner Randy Lerner to purchase the franchise for $1 billion (USD). The Browns were valued at $977 million in 2011 by Forbes magazine, 20th in the NFL. Haslam's family also owns the Tennessee Smokies, a Class AA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. NFL rules prohibit ownership in multiple teams and so Haslam will have to sell his interest in the Steelers. Haslam is married to Susan "Dee" Bagwell Haslam, CEO of RIVR Media. They have three adult children, Jim, Whitney and Cynthia and four grandchildren.
