Jeanie Buss, the Los Angeles Lakers owner who has been the face of the team since the death of her father Jerry Buss in 2013, is reportedly contesting the plan approved by her siblings to sell the family’s remaining 18% stake in the storied NBA franchise to investors Bob Iger and Josh Kushner. ESPN and numerous outlets reported Monday that Buss is challenging her siblings’ right to approve the sale of the team to the former Disney CEO and Kushner, an investor who founded Thrive Capital in 2010 at age 24. Jeanie Buss and her five siblings — Jesse, Jim, Johnny, Janie and Joey — have had complicated legal maneuvering around the management of komanda.
In 2017, following a litigation process, Jeanie was designated the controlling owner of the team through 2030. Jeanie Buss’ attorneys indicated that she asserts that she has the right to approve any sale of the team. Bildirilir ki, İger Jeanie ilə görüşüb və 2030-cu ilə qədər idarə heyətində qalmaq üçün Mark Walter ilə bağladığı razılaşmaya əməl edəcəyinə söz verib.
Walter, the CEO of Guggenheim Partners, acquired the Lakers from the Buss family in June 2025. The deal was finalized in October 2025, when the NBA distributed a photo of Walter sitting next to a smiling Jeanie Buss. İger və Kushnerin nümayəndəsi bazar ertəsi gec şərh tələbinə dərhal cavab vermədi.
Per ESPN, Jeanie Buss’ lawyer, Adam Streisand, has sent correspondence to the five Buss siblings who voted to sell that “a court had ruled in 2017 that no sale could be “effectuated without approval by the co-trustees, i.e. Jeanie, Janie and Joey Buss,” as reported by ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
