The Rabbitohs and Russell Crowe: A Bromance for the Ages (But Not Quite Ownership of the Whole Kennel)
So, you're curious about how much of the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team Russell Crowe owns? Buckle up, mate, because this story is more dramatic than a Gladiator sequel (though hopefully less oiled-up).
From Fanatical Fan to Co-Captain (Sort Of)
Back in 2006, Crowe wasn't just a South Sydney supporter, he was a champion in their corner. He, along with businessman Peter Holmes � Court, swooped in like a Hollywood knight and rescued the Rabbitohs from financial strife. Together, they bought a whopping 75% of the club, leaving the remaining 25% with the die-hard members – you know, the folks who bleed cardinal and myrtle.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.

Sharing is Caring (and Profitable)
Fast forward a few years, and Crowe decides to share the love (or maybe the tax benefits?). Enter James Packer, another Aussie billionaire with a soft spot for the Bunnies. Together, they form a three-headed ownership monster – Crowe, Packer, and tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes – each holding a neat 25% slice of the Rabbitohs pie.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
So, How Much Does Crowe Own Now?
 |
Hold your horses! Crowe doesn't directly own 25% of the Rabbitohs anymore. Let's just say there were some fancy financial maneuvers involving a company called Blackcourt Investments (think of it as the Batcave for Rabbitohs cash). The bottom line: Crowe likely still has a significant stake in Blackcourt, which in turn holds 25% of the team.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
But Wait, There's More!
Here's the kicker: **South Sydney members **– the passionate fans – still own a crucial 25% of the club. That means they have a say in the team's future, which is pretty darn cool for a sports franchise.
So, the answer? Russell Crowe doesn't directly own a quarter of the Rabbitohs, but he's still very much involved, and his influence on the club is undeniable.
