Jimmy Haslam III

James Arthur "Jimmy" Haslam III (born March 1954) is CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain who in August 2012 was reported to have become the majority owner of the Cleveland Browns football team pending approval of the NFL owners. His father, fellow businessman James Haslam, Jr. founded the Pilot Flying J company in 1958 as the Pilot Oil Corporation.

Haslam, who lives in his native Knoxville, Tennessee, is brother to Bill Haslam, governor of Tennessee and his father is Jim Haslam who founded Pilot Corp. While attending the University of Tennessee Haslam was roommate with Bob Corker who became U.S. senator from Tennessee. He was also a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008. In 2012, he reached an agreement with Browns Randy Lerner to purchase the franchise for $1 billion (USD). In the said deal, current owner Randy Lerner agreed to sell 70 percent of the Browns to Haslam upon the initial agreement in July 2012, with the other 30 percent reverting to him four years after the said closing date, although, at the time of the deal agreement, various sources with knowledge of the sale reportedly told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details have not officially been announced. The Browns were valued at $977 million last year by Forbes magazine, 20th in the NFL. Haslam's family family also owns the Tennessee Smokies, a Class AA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. NFL rules prohibit ownership in multiple teams and so Haslam will have to sell his interest in the Steelers.

Haslam is married to Susan "Dee" Bagwell Haslam, CEO of RIVR Media. They have three adult children, Jim, Whitney and Cynthia and four grandchildren.
