    Arthur Smith’s Story About Billionaire Dad Shared on Pat McAfee Show — ‘Won Over $30,000 With a Nothing To Lose Mentality’

    Arthur Smith reveals shocking story about billionaire dad. Some times you rather just be lucky than good.

    You know how the old saying goes — “Sometimes you rather be lucky than good.” Well, Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith and his dad know what it feels like to be both.

    Smith made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, and while on the show, he told a crazy story about how his father was down to his last few dollars and, with nothing to lose, decided to hit the casino and was able to dig himself out of the hole with a crazy night of blackjack.

    Who Is Arthur Smith’s Dad?

    The man behind the crazy gambling story is Frederick W. Smith. Smith is an American business magnate and investor who is the founder and chairman of FedEx Corporation.

    He is considered to be one of the most successful transportation entrepreneurs in the world, and as of June 2023, Smith has an estimated net worth of $5.3 billion.

    Eighteen hours and $30,000 later, Smith is one of the richest men in America and is one of the most respected and decorated entrepreneurs in the country.

    Maybe in 2023, some of his father’s luck will rub off on Arthur Smith and his Falcons.

    What Is Arthur Smith’s Net Worth?

    Although his father is a billionaire, Smith is not so much.

    According to CA Knowledge, Smith’s net worth is currently $6 million, with most of his earnings coming from his time in the NFL.

    How Long Has Smith Been With the Falcons?

    Smith has been the head coach of the Falcons since 2021 and is heading into his third season with the franchise.

    Smith’s current record as a head coach is 14-20.

    A Make-or-Break Year for Atlanta?

    When your head coach is under .500 in his two seasons at the helm, and you’re consistently selecting at the top of the draft, a sense of urgency is felt by everybody in the building.

    Smith is surely coaching for his job in 2023, and if the Falcons don’t see improvement this season, there is a real possibility that Smith, among others, will be looking for employment by the season’s end.
