Mark Stevens Is Seahawks’ Top Minority Investor

Other investors joined the Seahawks’ new ownership from the Mittal-Grousbeck group.

Mark Stevens has emerged as the top minority investor in the newly-formed Seahawks ownership group, following only the Khosla family members who led the NFL-record $9.612 billion purchase of the team. Stevens, a venture capitalist and Nvidia board member, has an estimated net worth of $12.4 billion, according to Forbes. The minority investors, listed by the size of their stakes, include the Aramburuzabalas family behind Modelo beer, Val Blavatnik, son of billionaire Leonard Blavatnik, and private equity firms Carlyle, Dynasty Equity, and Sixth Street.

The specific stake sizes of the other minority owners are not disclosed. The sale officially closed on Thursday and was ratified by NFL team owners unanimously during a special meeting in Atlanta, following approval from the league's finance and ownership policy committees. The Seahawks were put up for sale by the Paul G. Allen estate in February, 10 days after they won Super Bowl LX. The money from the sale is earmarked for charity, though the exact plans have not been revealed.
