Also T.Boon Pickens at Oklahoma State...but that might have been just an upgrade (but it was a substantial upgrade). 

Just an upgrade, the stadium is over 100 years old.

only ones I can think of who might have are Jerry Jones and perhaps Paul Allen

Does the Glazers paying for a stadium for Tulane count?

A Tulane alum that is married to a very rich man talked her husband into a 30M dollar donation to the building fund, if memory serves.....

Yeah but it was the mother of all upgrades as it cost  $165 million which is the cost of a brand new stadium for many. It’s not too far off from what our administration proposed.

I’m not sure who the mother of all upgrades is, but it’s that’s not even close.

Not sure, but the project is being done in stages to allow the stadium to be open during football season.   I was there last year for the Bob Stoops statue unveiling, and what has been completed is awesome.

About like ours for the IPF. They're doing a big push to get 40 people to donate to try and keep up with us.
