About Me
Bill Alfond is one of three living heirs who are billionaires thanks to Warren Buffett's purchase of the Dexter Shoe Company. Bill's father, Harold Alfond, bought an old mill in Maine in 1958 and turned it into a shoemaker that sold millions of boots and casual shoes a year. In 1993 Harold sold the company to Buffett for about $420 million in Berkshire Hathaway stock, now worth billions due to the rising share price. Bill and his brother Ted are minority investors in Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool FC and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bill's youngest sibling, Peter, died in July at age 65 from malaria, which he contracted during a trip to Africa.
