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.

Cross-checked

Shared control with: Magic Johnson, Stan Kasten, Todd Boehly, Eric Holoman

Walter's group has held the Sparks since 2014, long before the Dodgers-adjacent purchases that made the name familiar. The Sparks are explicitly NOT part of the Lakers sale agreed on 12 Aug 2026, so this row stays with Walter while the Lakers row sits on the watchlist.
