Kevin Durant has become a minority shareholder of PSG.
The 14-time NBA All-Star capitalized on his time in Paris during the Olympics. He leaves the games with a gold medal and departs with equity in one of Europe’s finest clubs.
Through his media entertainment business, Boardroom, the player disclosed a multi-million stake in PSG via Arctos Sports Partners. The American investment fund bought a 12.5% stake in the Parisian club last season. Qatar Sports Investments still retains its majority of the shares.
PSG is the world’s seventh most profitable football club, valued at $4.05 billion. That valuation could increase further with PSG’s growing audience in the United States, topping off with the World Cup in 2026. Durant’s helping hand could help grow PSG’s awareness in North America.
Durant joins the ranks of other prominent NBA players who have turned European soccer investors, including Lebron James and Russell Westbrook. James caught the football bug early and invested millions in Liverpool in April 2011, adding to his ownership in 2021.
Westbrook owns a minority stake in Championship side Leeds. Durant also owns a minority stake in MLS side Philadelphia Union and NWSL club NJ/NY Gotham FC.
