Now that Stanley Druckenmiller is emerging as the possible new owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, many people are asking just who is he?
He's a billionaire with a passion for golf and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
People who know Druckenmiller say the potential new Steelers' owner is bright, friendly and generous.
So generous in fact, that he shelled out $500,000 to the Oakmont Country Club so they could build a bridge.
The PGA required the bridge before they would hold the U.S. Open at Oakmont last year.
Club Pro Bob Ford tells KDKA's Paul Martino that Druckenmiller, a member at Oakmont, said "Build the bridge, but send the bill to my office so my wife does not see it."
Druckenmiller could obviously afford to build the bridge
The Wall Street wizard has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion.
Forbes Magazine lists him as the 91st richest person in America.
