I’m sure a bunch of NFL doors opened up for him that would not have otherwise. His coaching is proof of that.

He used his inheritance (4 mill) to start FedEx… definitely not a rags to riches story.

Turning $4 mil into $6 bil is pretty damn epic no matter how you slice it.

In the early days of FedEx, Smith had to go to great lengths to keep the company afloat. In one instance, after a crucial business loan was denied, he took the company's last $5,000 to Las Vegas and won $27,000 gambling on blackjack to cover the company's $24,000 fuel bill. It kept FedEx alive for one more week.[17]

Per wiki. Balls haha.
