Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is one of the most prominent athletes of all time, and his accomplishments extend beyond the realm of basketball.
Not only does James play a major sport but he also has ownership stakes in other professional teams.
He started with English Premier League’s Liverpool F.C., where he had a small stake. Over the summer, James joined Fenway Sports Group — which owns Liverpool — as a part-owner and turned in his Liverpool stake for a larger role with more teams, including the Boston Red Sox.
Now, Fenway Sports Group agreed to purchase the controlling interest of NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins in a deal reportedly worth $900 million, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic:
Fenway Sports Group has agreed to purchase a controlling interest in the Pittsburgh Penguins, adding the NHL team to a ownership portfolio that includes the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC. The sale is believed to be for around $900 million, The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reports.
This means James is now a part-owner of the Penguins, Red Sox, Liverpool and RFK Racing.
