- A New England win would give Kraft seven championships as an owner, breaking his tie with the Rooney family for the most Super Bowl victories.
- Kraft bought the Patriots in January 1994 for about $172 million after securing stadium and parking assets, and the franchise is now valued at over $9 billion.
- Forbes lists Kraft’s net worth at $13.8 billion, and he serves as chairman and CEO of the Kraft Group, which spans paper and packaging, sports, real estate and investing.
- Kraft enters Super Bowl Sunday as a 2026 Hall of Fame finalist who reportedly fell short under new voting rules, with his legacy also shaped by a 2019 solicitation case later dropped and renewed ties with President Donald Trump.
