John Fisher’s net worth has risen over past year, while his Oakland A’s cry poor

We talk a lot about the Oakland A’s here at Athletics Nation, from the players to the coaches to the front office executives and beyond. But we don’t often talk about the very top of the organization: the team’s majority owner, John Fisher.

The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on the nation’s economy, and on the financial fortunes of millions upon millions of Americans. That crash has extended to the pro sports world, where the inability to sell tickets to fans has tanked the revenues of many teams in various leagues.

Not Fisher, though. His net worth has actually risen during the pandemic, according to Forbes.
