BREAKING NEWS: Michael Strahan and Billionaire Marc Lasry Acquire 20% Stake in New York Giants.
New York, NY — In a landmark development for one of the NFL’s most storied franchises, the current owners of the New York Giants have officially sold a 20% stake in the team to a powerful new duo: former Giants star and media personality Michael Strahan, and billionaire investor Marc Lasry.
The partial ownership transfer, valued at approximately $15.65 billion, was confirmed today by team representatives and the NFL. This move marks one of the most high-profile ownership shakeups in recent league history.
Strahan, a Hall of Fame defensive end and key figure in the Giants’ 2007 Super Bowl victory, brings not only football pedigree but also mainstream appeal through his work in television. His return to the franchise in an ownership capacity is being celebrated by fans and players alike.
Marc Lasry, co-founder of Avenue Capital Group and former co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, brings a wealth of sports investment experience and financial clout to the deal. Lasry played a pivotal role in helping the Bucks win an NBA championship in 2021 and is now turning his attention to the gridiron.
“I’ve always considered myself a Giant for life,” said Strahan in a joint statement with Lasry. “This opportunity is more than a business move—it’s deeply personal. I’m honored to invest in the future of a team and city that shaped me.”
The deal reportedly does not affect the day-to-day operations or control of the team, which remains under the Mara and Tisch families, long-time owners of the franchise. However, insiders suggest that Strahan and Lasry will have a strong voice in the team’s business and community initiatives.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised the move, calling it “a promising step in diversifying team ownership and strengthening the league’s ties to both former players and visionary business leaders.”
More details about the ownership structure and strategic plans are expected to be released later this week.
