Worse owner of all time:
In 1920, however, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee needed money to finance his girlfriend's play, so he sold Babe Ruth's contract to Colonel Jacob Ruppert's New York Yankees for $100,000 (plus a loan collateralized by Fenway Park).
Wayne sold the Marlins for $100 Million to Jeffrey Loria who may prove to be even more shrewd than Wayne. Read this assessement of his commitment to the hometown fans:

Wayne of course still owns Pro Player Stadium and the Miami Dolphins. The man knows how to make a buck!
