Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin has reportedly engaged in discussions to acquire a chunk of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins in addition to its home field and the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
Griffin, who moved his firm Citadel from Chicago to Florida last 12 months, is negotiating with Stephen Ross, who owns stakes all three entities, according to Bloomberg News.
Ross, the 83-year-old founding father of Hudson Yards developer Related Cos., is looking to raise money that he would invest in other sports-related ventures, Bloomberg reported.
Ross’ sports portfolio includes the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, and the Miami Grand Prix, the annual Formula One race automotive event.
He also owns a stake in the Miami Open tennis tournament in addition to the Equinox and SoulCycle chains.
News of the talks between Griffin and Ross was first reported by Miami-based sports talk radio station Fox Sports 640.
The Post has sought comment from Citadel and the Dolphins.
The actual estate mogul has a net price of $8.64 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
In 2009, Ross bought the Dolphins from Wayne Huizenga for $1.1 billion — nearly seven times what Huizenga paid in 1994.
Forbes has valued the Dolphins at $5.7 billion — the eleventh most costly team in the NFL.
Hard Rock Stadium, the 65,000-seat venue which hosts the Dolphins, is valued by Forbes at barely lower than $1 billion.
Ross is the third NFL owner who’s looking to sell a minority stake in a franchise.
David Blitzer and Josh Harris, the brand new owners of the Washington Commanders, are shopping their minority ownership stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dean Spanos, the owner of the Los Angeles Chargers, is reportedly shopping a 24% stake in his team.
