Who Owns Inter Miami? A Tale of Money, Football, and Beckham's Hair
So, you wanna know who owns Inter Miami, huh? Well, buckle up, because this is about to get more complicated than trying to understand offside.
How Many People Own Inter Miami |
The Big Kahunas
Let's start with the obvious: David Beckham. You know, that guy with the golden left foot and the hair that could launch a thousand ships (or at least a few shampoo commercials). He’s more than just a pretty face (or a pretty head of hair) – he’s a co-owner of Inter Miami.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
But Beckham didn't do this alone. He teamed up with the Mas brothers, Jorge and Jose, who are basically the real estate moguls of Miami. Between the three of them, they've got enough cash to buy their own island (and probably have).
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
A Bit of a Shake-Up
Originally, there was another bigwig involved: Marcelo Claure. But don't worry about him too much; he decided to cash out and sell his shares to the Mas brothers. So now, it's basically the Mas brothers and Beckham running the show.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Beckham's ownership stake in Inter Miami is part of a sweet deal he got when he played for LA Galaxy? Basically, he was promised an MLS team of his own if he behaved himself (which, let's be honest, he mostly did).
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
So, Who's Really in Charge?
While Beckham gets most of the headlines, Jorge Mas is the managing owner. Think of him as the CEO, while Beckham is more like the face of the franchise. But don't underestimate the Mas brothers. They're the ones with the deep pockets and the connections.
How to Become an Owner (Probably Not)
Okay, so you're probably not going to be buying Inter Miami anytime soon, but here are a few tips on ownership in general:
- How to find a rich friend: This is step one for pretty much any business venture.
- How to convince a famous athlete to partner with you: Good luck with that.
- How to navigate complex financial deals: Accountants and lawyers are your new best friends.
- How to deal with demanding fans: Therapy might help.
- How to keep your hair looking as good as Beckham's: Genetics are probably the key here.
So there you have it. The complicated world of Inter Miami ownership. If you made it this far, congratulations! You're officially more invested in this team than some of the players.
