Minnesota Vikings
Current Leadership
Owner & Chairman
Zygi Wilf, a New Jersey-based real estate developer, purchased the Minnesota Vikings in 2005 for $600 million. He has been the driving force behind the franchise's modernization, most notably spearheading the construction of U.S. Bank Stadium, which opened in 2016 and is widely considered one of the finest venues in the NFL. Under Wilf's ownership, the Vikings have made the playoffs eight times and hired well-regarded leadership in general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell.
President & Co-Owner
Mark Wilf, Zygi's brother, serves as the team's president and co-owner. He plays an active role in the franchise's day-to-day business operations and has been a key figure in the team's community outreach and stadium development efforts. The Wilf family's Garden Homes Fund has been one of the largest real estate investment groups on the East Coast.

Historical Figures
Owner
Texas billionaire Red McCombs purchased the Vikings in 1998 for $250 million. His tenure was contentious — McCombs was viewed as a largely absentee owner who threatened to relocate the team if he didn't receive public funding for a new stadium. The stadium standoff dragged on for years before McCombs sold the team to the Wilf family in 2005 for $600 million, more than doubling his investment.
President & Part-Owner
Roger Headrick led the ownership group that controlled the Vikings through much of the 1990s, including the extraordinary 1998 season. His tenure was marked by competitive teams on the field but persistent uncertainty about the franchise's long-term stadium situation and ownership stability.
Founding Owner & President
Max Winter was one of the five founding owners of the Minnesota Vikings and served as the franchise's president for its first 26 years. Winter was instrumental in bringing professional football to Minnesota and shepherded the franchise through the Purple People Eaters dynasty and four Super Bowl appearances. He sold his stake in the mid-1980s but remains one of the most important figures in franchise history.
