Former Major League Baseball player and the current general manager and minority owner of the Oakland Athletics, William Lamar “Billy” Beane III, has an estimated net worth of $6 million. He struggled for several seasons on the Mets, Twins and Tigers as a reserve outfielder, and decided not to return as a player in the 1990 season. Instead, he asked the Oakland A’s GM to become a reserve scout. He worked his way up to Assistant GM in 1994. Using the now famous sabermetric principle, he managed to make relatively undervalued players compete exceedingly well in the major leagues.
