Biography

William "Bill" Foley II founded title insurance company Fidelity National Financial in 1984 and still serves as its chairman.

He also served as chairman of Black Knight, a software and data provider for the mortgage industry, and Fidelity National Information Services.

With decades of experience overseeing acquisitions, sales and spinoffs of public companies, Foley was quick to capitalize on Wall Street's SPAC boom.

A serial dealmaker, he has sponsored 6 blank-check companies; one that has gone public merged in March 2021 with payments firm Paysafe.

In 2016, Foley paid $500 million to purchase the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team, which played its inaugural NHL season in 2017.
