A native and local businesswoman from Youngstown has earned her place on the 2021 Forbes billionaires.

Denise DeBartolo-York and her family have a net worth of $ 3.5 billion.

They own more than 90 percent of the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL’s fifth most valuable team.

York’s father, Edward Debartolo Sr., bought the football team in 1977 for $ 13 million. It’s now worth $ 3.5 billion.

York took control of the 49ers in 2001 from her brother, Edward Jr., who found himself in legal trouble after owning the team for 23 years.

Denise and her husband John have four children, the eldest of whom, Jed, is the current CEO of the 49ers.

Her husband John, a pathologist, founded DeYor Laboratories in Youngstown before selling to Corning.
