The sale of the Seattle Seahawks to an ownership group led by the Khosla family has officially closed following unanimous approval from NFL owners. The $9.612 billion transaction, finalized through an agreement with the Paul G. Allen Estate, sets a new record for the highest price paid for an NFL franchise, surpassing the $6.05 billion sale of the Washington Commanders in 2023. Neeru Khosla will serve as the team’s controlling ~~owner,~~ owner and president of the Seahawks Charitable Foundation, with Vinod Khosla acting as board president and Neal Khosla as vice president. The ownership group includes several notable investors, such as Mexican businessman Gonzalo Hevia Baillères, founder of HBeyond, making him one of the first Mexican investors to hold a stake in an NFL franchise. Other participants include the Aramburuzabala family, Mark Stevens, Val Blavatnik, Sheryl Sokoloff, and ~~Penny Pritzker.~~ investment firms such as Carlyle and Dynasty Equity. As part of the deal, the Khosla family must relinquish their minority ownership stake in the San Francisco 49ers. The proceeds from the sale are intended to support charitable causes in accordance with the wishes of the late Paul Allen. The acquisition follows the Seahawks’ recent Super Bowl LX victory against the New England Patriots. While Vinod Khosla expressed a desire to maintain the team’s winning momentum, his mention of being a long-standing fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers drew criticism from some Seattle fans on social media. The team will remain based in Seattle and continue to play at Lumen Field.
