Ozzie Silna net worth: Ozzie Silna is an American businessman who has a net worth of $150 million dollars. Ozzie Silna began his professional career in the textile industry, and built a polyester empire in the 60s and early 70s. He and his brother, Daniel had always dreamed of owning a basketball team, and they purchased the American Basketball League’s Carolina Cougars in 1974. Their plan was to move the Cougars to the NBA, when the ABA and NBA merged. They moved the entire team to St. Louis, Missouri, in the hope that that would make their inclusion in the NBA more viable. They renamed the team the Spirits of St. Louis, and the team played through the 1976 season. The franchise ultimately folded without ever joining the NBA, releasing some incredibly talented players to other teams. Ozzie Silna and his brother negotiated a deal in which they received $2.2 million upfront and 1/7 of the four remaining ABA team’s television revenue in perpetuity. The end result is that, after the eventual merger with the NBA, the Silnas have wracked up nearly $300 million dollars in profits from television revenue. The NBA has repeatedly tried to renegotiate the deal with little luck.

Douglas Gotterba’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Douglas Gotterba net worth: Doug Gotterba is an American pilot who has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars. He is best known for claiming to have had a six-year sexual affair with John Travolta in the 1980s while he was acting as a personal pilot for the actor. Gotterba worked for an aviation company Alto from 1981 until 1987, when he and the company ended the business relationship via a written termination agreement. In the wake of a series of 2012 gay scandals regarding Travolta’s interactions with male masseuses, Gotterba said he was “unwillingly thrust” into the limelight by others, at which point he decided to “tell the story of his life and those involved in it.” Gotterba’s ex-boyfriend Robert Britz, who the pilot dated after his time with Travolta, also dished details of Gotterba’s Travolta-related revelations to The National ENQUIRER. After Gotterba himself gave an interview to The National ENQUIRER, he started putting together a book, at which point he received cease-and-desist letters from Travolta’s powerhouse lawyer, Marty Singer, admonishing the pilot and saying he was in violation of the confidentiality provision in the 1987 pact he signed in his severance with the aviation company, Alto. After Gotterba and his attorney reviewed the 1987 pact Gotterba claimed the documents were “not authentic” — but part of an unrelated contact that was irrelevant to Travolta’s claims. At that point, Gotterba sued both Travolta and the company to gain clarification as to which agreement was in proper legal standing; Alto countered with an anti-SLAPP motion. In July of 2014, the court allowed the confidentiality suit from Gotterba to move forward because it is relevant to “the validity of the asserted termination agreements.”
