One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →
The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.
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.
Minority holders: Briger family (3.2%, approved Oct 2025); Griffith and Deeter families (May 2025 sale)
NFL owners approved Pete Briger Jr.'s purchase of a 3.2% non-controlling stake on 22 Oct 2025, for about $275M at an $8.6B valuation, the same valuation as the May 2025 sale to the Khosla, Griffith and Deeter families; the York family keeps about 87.8%. Vinod Khosla sold his minority stake in 2026 to buy the Seattle Seahawks. 49ers Enterprises, the club's investment arm, owns Leeds United outright.
