Current Leadership
Governor & Owner
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer purchased the Clippers in 2014 for $2 billion after Donald Sterling was forced to sell amid a racism scandal. Ballmer, whose net worth exceeds $100 billion, has been the most financially powerful owner in the NBA and personally funded the construction of the $2 billion Intuit Dome in Inglewood, which opened in 2024. His boundless energy and willingness to spend have transformed the Clippers from the league's laughingstock into a first-class organization.

Historical Figures
Owner
Real estate magnate Donald Sterling owned the Clippers for 33 years in what is widely considered the worst ownership tenure in NBA history. Sterling was notorious for his frugality, losing culture, and multiple discrimination lawsuits. He was banned for life by the NBA in 2014 after racist comments were made public, and the team was sold to Steve Ballmer for $2 billion.
