Terry Pegula's strategic genius was his commitment to high-risk, high-reward resource exploration. He founded East Resources in 1983, successfully building it into a major force by specializing in natural gas exploration (leveraging the Marcellus Shale boom). The pinnacle of his financial career was the $6.3 billion sale of East Resources to Royal Dutch Shell and others in 2010. His structural contribution is tied to pioneering the modern natural gas exploration model.

His public focus shifted to sports ownership when he acquired the Buffalo Sabres (NHL) in 2011 and the Buffalo Bills (NFL) in 2014, securing both franchises' long-term stability in the city. His wealth is secured by the colossal liquid gains from the East Resources sale and the long-term appreciation of his sports assets.
