One of the most iconic businessmen and philanthropists in the history of the state of Florida died Thursday at the age of 80 after a long battle with cancer.
H. Wayne Huizenga is believed to be the only entrepreneur to start three separate Fortune 500 companies — Blockbuster video, AutoNation and Waste Management, according to CNN.
And thanks to his business acumen, he was able to own three sports teams during his career — the Florida Marlins (MLB), the Florida Panthers (NHL) and the Miami Dolphins (NFL). Prior to his death, Forbes estimated his net worth to be roughly $2.8 billion.
