He bought the team for $150 mill in 89. It's worth $2.1 billion now highest in the league by far. That seems fairly quantifiable. Team success or not the dude knows how to make money.

Is that really the barometer you're using to classify Jones as a great businessman? Really.
Using your test, Benson is a better businessman than Jones. Benson bought the Saints for $72 mill and it's worth over over a billion dollars; Benson gets all of the revenue from the Superdome (worth in excess of $500 million); he has a practice facility worth $100 million (paid for with state money), and got a free building from the state on Poydras Ave. worth $40 million.
The Cowboys are worth $2.1 billion because Jones paid $1 billion for the stadium.
Not bad for a used car salesman!
