The Life of Daniel Snyder
Daniel Snyder is a perfect example of a successful businessman, having put up more than one business. He owns the Washington Redskins football team, chairs the board of Six Flags Inc, owns the Johnny Rockets restaurant, and is an investor in Red Zebra Broadcasting. He is a successful person when it comes to business. Not forgetting his wife Tanya, and three children, a son and two daughters are a part of his success history. Daniel Snyder took his first job at the age of 14 at a bookstore in Maryland, where he was raised and schooled at a nearby school. He started running his business at the age of 20 and where he leased jets to college students and was a publisher of the magazine Campus USA, a magazine meant for campus students. His determination captivated Zuckerman, a publisher of Zuckerman’s New York Daily News, and set him to invest nearly $3 million for this venture.
Additionally, he ventured into marketing products for high-end companies such as Fortune 500, which set some potential investors into working with him. In 1988, he founded a marketing company known as Snyder Communications alongside his sister in which they outsourced marketing services for their clients. He later became the CEO of a New York Stock Exchange company at 32 in 1996. He sold his marketing company to a French advertising company for $2billion, making this the largest transaction in marketing/advertising history. Daniel’s undying love for football made him buy the Redskins team and their stadium after the demise of the then owner James Kent Cooke in May 1999. Aside from generating income from his stadium and his football club, 5% of his income comes from a film company specializing in children’s cartoons, which encourages proper sensitivity to the young ones. He is the chairman of the board of Ventiv Health and McLeod USA. Daniel Snyder is also looking forward to entering into business with the English Premier League by purchasing a soccer team, which most likely would be Tottenham F.C.
