Episode 259: What does owning a sports team actually involve – and can they be run like regular businesses? Today, Ann sits down with David Rubenstein, owner of the Baltimore Orioles and co-founder of the Carlyle Group ahead of the release of his new book, “Inside the Owner’s Box.” They unpack the soaring valuations of sports franchises, the rise of private equity and startup leagues, and why David believes ownership is about more than making money. Plus, David discusses his commitment to Baltimore and what he calls “patriotic philanthropy.” Finally, Ann gives more details on her next steps. Visit Schwab.com/FinancialDecoderwww.brewmarkets.com Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...Follow Brew Markets on social:Instagram: instagram.com/brewmarketsTikTok: tiktok.com/@brewmarketsX: x.com/brewmarketsFollow Ann Berry on social:Instagram: instagram.com/annberry_nycX: x.com/AnnBerry_NYCListen to Brew Markets Here: swap.fm/l/9Qk4z73Z2nEwFiCB4qeeWatch Brew Markets Here:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@BrewMarketsThe content shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial, legal, or investment advice.
