I just read where he bought the Yankees for $10 million and now they're worth billions.

Campaign contributions to Nixon and pardon
The "convicted" part of Martin's comment referred to Steinbrenner's connection to U.S. President Richard Nixon: he was indicted on 14 criminal counts on April 5, 1974, then pleaded guilty to making illegal contributions to Nixon's re-election campaign and a felony charge of obstruction of justice on August 23. Steinbrenner was personally fined $15,000, while his firm was assessed $20,000 for the offense. On November 27, Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspended him for two years, but later reduced that amount to fifteen months, with Steinbrenner returning to the Yankees in 1976. U.S. President Ronald Reagan pardoned Steinbrenner on January 19, 1989, in one of the final acts of his presidency.
Steinbrenner was the principal owner and chief operating officer of Tampa-based American Ship Building Company prior to acquiring the New York Yankees.
George Steinbrenner (born July 4, 1930 in Rocky River, Ohio) often known as "The Boss", is an American entrepreneur, the principal owner of the New York Yankees.

On January 3, 1973, a group of investors led by Steinbrenner and minority partner Burke bought the Yankees from CBS for $8.7 million[1]. "We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned," said Steinbrenner, according to an article in The New York Times reporting on the sale. "We're not going to pretend we're something we aren't. I'll stick to building ships."
I still think he had Gov't Contracts with Grumman. Still looking.
During the Second World War, the (Steinbrenner's) company managed Delta Shipbuilding Company for the United States Maritime Commission. Delta had a yard at New Orleans and built a total of 188 ships.[2]
