3. Karen Murphy – Chicago Bears CFO and Treasurer

Via forbes.com

Karen Murphy serves as the CFO and Treasurer for the Chicago Bears, one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. The self-proclaimed sports fanatic who explained to Crain’s Chicago Business in 2006 that she reserves vacation time to follow March Madness and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has an impressive sports resume, one that includes stints with ESPN and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Murphy has been employed by the Bears for 16 years, and she has held her current position with the club for 13 seasons. One has to wonder if Murphy has any strong opinions about the amount of money being paid to quarterback Jay Cutler.
