Current Leadership
Managing General Partner & Co-Chairperson
Hal Steinbrenner assumed day-to-day control of the New York Yankees in 2008 after his father George Steinbrenner's health declined. Under Hal's leadership, the Yankees won the 2009 World Series and moved into the new Yankee Stadium. While maintaining one of baseball's highest payrolls, Hal has been perceived as more fiscally disciplined than his father, drawing both praise for financial stewardship and criticism from fans who feel the franchise has prioritized the luxury tax threshold over championship spending.
Ownership Family
The Steinbrenner family has controlled the Yankees since George Steinbrenner led a group that purchased the franchise in 1973 for $8.7 million from CBS. The family's ownership has presided over seven World Series titles and transformed the Yankees into the most valuable franchise in Major League Baseball. Hal's brother Hank Steinbrenner was also involved in team operations until his death in 2020.

Historical Figures
Former Principal Owner
George Steinbrenner, the shipbuilding magnate known as 'The Boss,' was one of the most iconic and controversial owners in sports history. His relentless pursuit of winning - hiring and firing managers at a dizzying pace, spending lavishly on free agents, and demanding excellence - produced seven World Series titles and established the modern Yankees dynasty. Steinbrenner's combative style and win-at-all-costs mentality forever changed the economics of professional sports. He passed away in 2010.
Former Corporate Owner
CBS purchased the Yankees from Dan Topping and Del Webb in 1964 for $11.2 million. The broadcast network's ownership coincided with the end of the Yankees' dynastic era, as the franchise declined dramatically during the late 1960s and early 1970s. CBS sold the team to George Steinbrenner's group in 1973 at a loss, one of the most lopsided deals in sports history given the franchise's subsequent value appreciation.
