Ranking 5 richest suitors linked with the multi-billion dollar Commanders takeover ft. Steve Apostolopoulos

The Washington Commanders are up for sale as current owner Dan Snyder looks to sell the team he first bought way back in 1999.

Snyder's tenure as Commanders owner has not been without controversy, as he's been accused of creating a toxic and sexist workplace by many of his current and former colleagues.

He looks likely to make plenty of cash when he finally sells up, as he acquired the Commanders for $800m 24 years ago, and will likely double his money, at the very least, when the sale is complete.
