Alex Spanos was an American billionaire who primarily worked as a real-estate developer and founded ‘A.G. Spanos Companies.’ Born and raised in Stockton, California, Alex was from a middle-class Greek family. His father owned a small bakery. However, he grew up in troubled circumstances, as his parents were constantly fighting. Alex was still a kid when his mother took him away from his father. However, when Alex pushed her, she decided to go back to her husband. It was all good after that. Alex thus became determined to give his children a better life and graduated from the ‘University of the Pacific.’ Always interested in entrepreneurship instead of a regular job, he began his own business of selling sandwiches to migrant farm workers in 1951. By the mid-1950s, he had enough money to invest in real estate. Thus, his profits soared. This was further enhanced when he founded ‘A. G. Spanos Companies’ in 1960 and eventually became one of the richest people in the country. He also happened to be the owner of the majority of shares in the ‘Los Angeles Chargers’ (then known as the ‘San Diego Chargers’) of the ‘National Football League’ (NFL).
