These are the Pittsburgh billionaires who are on the Forbes 400 list
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Forbes’ annual list of the 400 wealthiest people in America features billionaires from the Pittsburgh area.
The “definitive ranking of America’s richest people 2024” was released this week and features 400 people worth a total of $5.4 trillion. Forbes said a minimum net worth of $3.3 billion was required to be on the list.
To tally each person’s wealth as of Sept. 1, Forbes said it included all of their assets, including stakes in public and private companies, real estate, art, etc.
Of the 400 names on the list, three reside in the Pittsburgh region: Edward Stack and family, Thomas Tull and Maggie Hardy.
Stack is the executive chairman and largest individual shareholder of Dick’s Sporting Goods, a Coraopolis-based company. He has an estimated net worth of $5.8 billion and came in at No. 225, according to Forbes.
Tull, who owns a minority stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers, is No. 359 on the list with an estimated net worth of $3.7 billion. He also founded Legendary Entertainment, a production company.
Hardy came in at No. 374 with an estimated net worth of $3.6 billion. She is the owner and CEO of 84 Lumber. According to Forbes, Maggie Hardy took control of 84 Lumber in 1992.
David Tepper and Mark Cuban, both Pittsburgh natives, made the list, but the two billionaires do not live in Pennsylvania. Tepper’s $21.3 billion net worth placed him at No. 39, while Cuban’s $5.7 billion net worth placed him at No. 230.
Tepper, who owns the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, grew up in Pittsburgh’s Stanton Heights neighborhood. Cuban, who grew up in Mt. Lebanon, founded Broadcast.com and owns a minority stake in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.
Elon Musk earned the top spot on this year’s list.
Who is the richest person in Pennsylvania?
Jeff Yass, the cofounder of Susquehanna International Group, is the richest person in Pennsylvania, according to Forbes’ list. Yass has a $49.6 billion net worth, ranking him No. 18 overall.
Twelve Pennsylvanians made the 2024 list.
The Allegheny County Police Department announced charges against four people after a drug bust earlier this week in Braddock.
On Thursday, the county police’s violent crime and firearms unit, along with the SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on Corey Avenue.
When they entered, they found two adult men, an adult woman, and one boy inside. They were all taken into custody.
Following a search of the home, detectives found a loaded handgun, five bricks of suspected fentanyl, multiple handgun magazines, and firearm accessories.
All four of the people in the home are now facing charges in connection with the investigation.
Among them is 24-year-old Jawan Coachman, who is being charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and tampering with evidence. Both 18-year-old Nathaniel Scott and 19-year-old Nakhiya Enoch are facing multiple drug charges and an additional charge related to firearms violations.
Meanwhile, the juvenile had charges filed in juvenile court, and his identity has not been released.

New Head Coach Mike McCarthy inherited a roster with more than a fair share of holes to fill. Perhaps none more so than wide receiver.
Trading for highly productive former Indianapolis Colts draft pick Michael Pittman Jr. to play alongside D.K. Metcalf certainly helped, but third-year receiver Roman Wilson is currently slotted as the team’s wide receiver No. 3 with only 164 career yards. The Steelers can go anywhere with their first-round selection, and if one of the big three receivers falls (Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon), don’t count the Steelers out.
The second most pressing need is safety, and the Steelers are in luck. There are at least three safeties with a consensus first-round grade in this year’s class. At 21, Pittsburgh is in a prime position to pick up a day-one starter if they go this route.
With 12 picks, McCarthy will hope to secure at least six starters/role players, and with three picks in the third round, they’ve got the draft capital to do just that.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the early months of the Mike McCarthy Era, and life has been good. A few roster questions remain, but there is a sense of trust building from the fanbase.
One of the most important unanswered questions is who will be the Steelers’ starting quarterback in 2026? The presumed answer remains Aaron Rodgers, but no contract has been signed, and the 2026 NFL Draft is just weeks away.
Recently, former Steelers quarterback and co-host of The Snap Count, Charlie Batch, shared his thoughts on the holdup. He believes it’s a financial dispute keeping things from moving forward, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter refuted that claim. Now, Batch continues to hold firm to his stance, reaffirming it in the most recent episode of his show.
“I will stand ten toes down on this,” he stated. “He deserves a pay raise. He’s not gona play on the number he had last year. For people to say, ‘He made a bunch of money,’ it’s not about money… This is about his services for this season.”
Could Money Be an Issue?
The reality is that there is no clarity regarding the situation. The Steelers have continued to present a positive front regarding the situation. McCarthy spouts off about how often he and Rodgers communicate. General manager Omar Khan and owner Art Rooney II have both shared the sentiment.
That’s why many concluded that this waiting is just a formality, as the eccentric Rodgers takes his good ole time signing the deal. But that’s never been confirmed. Batch might be right on the money regarding the situation. And as he explained, the $13 million salary he played on last year is not commensurate with the rate quarterbacks are paid in the NFL right now.
“That number is not going to be $13 million,” Batch declared. “If you look at the rest of the league, he falls right into that $30 million range.”
Where does that leave things between the Steelers and Rodgers, then?
What Number Makes Sense for Rodgers?
If Rodgers wants to be paid like a top-25 quarterback in the NFL, that would require the Steelers to cough up some more dough than they anticipate. The recent free-agent market set a baseline of $22 million. That’s the average salary on the deal Malik Willis signed with the Miami Dolphins.
It seems that if Batch’s analysis is correct, the Steelers have to pony up at least $20 million to get Rodgers back. Despite the pushback from national media and conflicting information about the subject, Batch is standing firm in the assertion that money is a huge factor preventing the Steelers from knowing their starting QB in 2026.
