The Houston Rockets are off to Austin for pre-season training camp and, although the basketball team hasn’t achieved much lately, Rockets owner Les Alexander recently joined for the first time fellow Houston professional sports franchise owners Bob McNair (the Texans) and Drayton McLane (the Stros) on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans list. Alexander came in at no. 322 on the list with an estimated net worth of $750 mil.
Thus, some eyebrows were raised recently when this Palm Beach Post article revealed that Alexander had gotten out of his 30-year plus marriage to former wife Nanci in 2003 for a mere $150 million. That information is just now coming to light because Alexander had his attorneys obtain an improper sealing of the court records at the time of the divorce settlement.
Looks as if Alexander has done quite a bit better than the Rockets over the past few years.
