June, 2001: Snyder tells reporters that he's learning: "In the past season," Snyder told Adam Schefter, "I've learned humility."
"There has been some tremendous humility," Snyder told Knight-Ridder. "I'm learning how to be more and more humble every day. It comes with the turf. It comes with learning. I'm looking forward to getting things going in the right direction....You live and learn every day. You try to move on and make things better and better. But if you look at my experience with Marty Schottenheimer, it's just like I've done with every business. You let your best people do their stuff."

October, 2001: Snyder speaks at the National Press Club: "One of the things I want to talk about and mention is I think my skill sets that I have learned," Snyder said. "I always pride myself -- some of my clients used to make jokes and say, 'This guy just learns and sponges all the information, keeps learning and learning and learning.' I will learn over the time in football how to get things right, and I think you'll find that over the many, many years and over the decades we are going to have some great, great results."

January, 2002: Redskins hire Steve Spurrier: "I think too much power, in football, in hindsight -- having learned this now -- can be a difficult thing, a difficult challenge," Snyder said. "The amount of work is just too much for one person to do everything. I don't think it's healthy for one person to do everything. I think the devotion of time from the head coach should be toward coaching the team, and that alone is an incredible responsibility."

February, 2008: Snyder announces the hiring of Jim Zorn: "I said we'd be thorough and we'd conduct a full process and we did," Snyder said. "We did just what we said we'd do. What we were looking for was a coach with characteristics. And our characteristics were starting with character, a character person. Joe has such character and I've learned so much not only about him, but about what I and the Redskins want in the future."

3. From Wikipedia...

In 1988, Snyder and his sister Michelle founded a marketing company, Snyder Communications Inc. (SNC). Their activities were mainly outsourced marketing services, such as direct marketing, database marketing, proprietary product sampling, sponsored information display in prime locations, call centers, and field sales.

In an initial public offering for SNC in September 1996, Daniel Snyder became the youngest ever CEO of a New York Stock Exchange listed company at the age of 32<3>.

He expanded the company aggressively through a string of acquisitions, and in April 2000, Snyder Communications was sold to the French advertising and marketing services group Havas in an all-stock transaction valued at in excess of US$2 billion, the largest transaction in the history of the advertising/market industry. Snyder’s personal share of the proceeds was estimated to be US$300 million<4>.

I think there is a lot of real estate investments involved now. Real Estate has exploded in this area since the late 90's. There have been rumours the last couple of years that Snyder is going to rebuild RFK stadium and demolish FedEx stadium and sell the land. The land is much more valuable than the actual stadium.
