The Los Angeles Lakers are owned by Mark Walter, who acquired a majority stake in the franchise in 2025. Jeanie Buss continues to serve as Lakers governor and run day-to-day operations as part of the transition, with the Buss family retaining a minority stake. Key points:

• Mark Walter (through TWG Global) became the controlling owner after the NBA approved the sale, with a valuation reported around $10 billion.

• Jeanie Buss remains in charge on the ground and will maintain governance and day-to-day responsibilities for the foreseeable future.

• The Buss family retained roughly a 15% minority stake as part of the deal.

• Walter’s ownership also spans other Los Angeles sports properties (Dodgers, Sparks) and international ventures, underscoring a broader cross-sport ownership footprint.

If you’d like, I can summarize the timeline of the sale and provide a concise ownership map with dates and stake percentages.
