Here's what Forbes had to say about Bisciotti:

Bisciotti owns the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, which have won two Super Bowls since he first invested -- the first in 2001, right after he bought in as a minority stakeholder, and then again in 2013, several years after he'd assumed majority control.

Bisciotti earned a liberal arts degree from Salisbury University in Maryland and worked in the temporary help industry before cofounding his own staffing firm at age 23. He and his cousin, Jim Davis (who is also a billionaire), started what would become Allegis Group -- now one of the world's biggest staffing companies -- in 1983.

Originally called Aerotek and focused on filling aeronautics, engineering and light industrial jobs, today Allegis Group places people in sectors spanning from IT to finance. The company does more than $10 billion in revenues and processes 8 million paychecks every year.
