One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →

Who controls the club

The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.

How this is measured

Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.

The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.

Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.

Who controls the clubJerry Reinsdorf

Cross-checkedas of 11 Aug 2026

Minority holders: Lukas and Samantha Walton bought a minority LP stake in the Bulls and the United Center from existing limited partners, Jun 2026, valuing the Bulls at $6.45B

Reinsdorf also controls the Chicago White Sox.
