Khosla Family Completes Record $9.6 Billion Purchase of Seattle Seahawks
The Khosla family has completed a record $9.612 billion purchase of the Seattle Seahawks, making it the highest price ever paid for an NFL franchise. The sale, approved unanimously by NFL owners, ends the Allen family's ownership since 1997. Vinod Khosla will serve as chair, with Neeru Khosla as controlling owner and president of the Seahawks Charitable Foundation, and Neal Khosla as vice chair. The ownership group includes several co-owners. The Khoslas aim to build on the team's recent Super Bowl success and maintain strong community ties.
