Current Leadership
Co-Owner & Governor
Fortress Investment Group co-founder Wes Edens co-purchased the Bucks in 2014 for $550 million alongside Marc Lasry, saving the franchise from potential relocation. Edens spearheaded the construction of Fiserv Forum and the surrounding Deer District entertainment complex, which has transformed downtown Milwaukee. The investment paid off spectacularly with the Bucks winning the 2021 NBA championship behind Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Co-Owner
Avenue Capital Group founder Marc Lasry co-purchased the Bucks alongside Wes Edens in 2014. While Lasry stepped down as the team's governor in 2022, he remains a co-owner and has been instrumental in elevating the franchise's profile on the national stage. His Wall Street connections helped attract additional investment and sponsorship partners to the small-market franchise.
Co-Owner
York Capital Management founder Jamie Dinan joined the Bucks ownership group in 2014 as a significant minority investor. His financial acumen has complemented the ownership group's approach to building a sustainable, competitive franchise in one of the NBA's smallest markets.

Historical Figures
Owner
Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl purchased the Bucks in 1985 to keep the franchise in Milwaukee and owned the team for nearly three decades. While beloved for his commitment to the city, Kohl's frugal approach often limited the team's ability to compete for top free agents. He sold the team in 2014 with the condition that the new owners keep the Bucks in Milwaukee, contributing $100 million toward a new arena.
Owner
Jim Fitzgerald owned the Bucks during a competitive era that featured players like Sidney Moncrief and saw the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals multiple times. Financial pressures eventually led him to sell the team to Herb Kohl in 1985.
