14 - Houston Rockets

Owner: Leslie Alexander
Wealth: Student Loans
Leslie Alexander worked on Wall Street after graduating from NYU and excelled in the Derivatives department of Lawrence Kotkin Associates, specializing in options trading. He eventually left to start his own investment firm, The Alexander Group. His massive wealth came from a 20% investment in the student loan company First Marblehead, which is worth about $750M.
Interesting Note: Alexander is an ardent vegetarian, which explains the "Animal Rights" signs the Rockets dancers usually wear.
