Boston Celtics
Current Leadership
Ownership Group
A private equity-led consortium completed the purchase of the Celtics from the Grousbeck group in 2024 for a record $6.1 billion, the highest price ever paid for an NBA franchise at the time. The group's acquisition came just as the Celtics won their 18th championship, and the new owners have pledged to maintain the franchise's competitive excellence and storied legacy.
Governor (Transition)
Wyc Grousbeck led the ownership group that purchased the Celtics in 2002 and oversaw two championship runs in 2008 and 2024. While his group completed the sale to new ownership in 2024, Grousbeck has remained involved in a transition role as the new group settles in. His tenure transformed the Celtics back into a premier franchise after years of mediocrity.

Historical Figures
Owner
Paul Gaston inherited ownership from his father Don Gaston and presided over one of the franchise's bleakest eras. The Celtics failed to make the playoffs in several seasons during his tenure, and rebuilding efforts were slow to bear fruit. Gaston sold the team to the Grousbeck-led group in 2002.
Owner
Don Gaston led a group that purchased the Celtics in 1983 and oversaw the tail end of the Larry Bird era, including the 1984 and 1986 championships. The franchise's fortunes declined sharply with Bird's retirement and the tragic death of Len Bias, and Gaston's health issues led to his son Paul taking over.
