Is the Milwaukee Brewers owner worth billions of dollars?


no

Mark Attanasio, principal owner of the Milwaukee Brewers and co-founder of the Los Angeles-based Crescent Capital Group investment firm, does not appear on Forbes’ 2023 list of the world’s 2,640 billionaires.

Most estimates put his net worth at $700 million.

Net worth is a person’s assets — such as cash, home, stocks and property — minus debts owed.

The employment information website NCESC.com estimated without documentation that Attanasio is worth $1.1 billion.

CelebrityNetWorth.com, GoBankingRates.com, Statista.com and InvestorTimes.com published estimates of $700 million.

The Brewers are seeking improvements to American Family Field, where they play their home games. A bill approved by the Wisconsin Assembly calls for the team to contribute $100 million, and state, City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County taxpayers to contribute $546 million.

On May 25, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said that Milwaukee risks losing the Brewers to another city if renovations to the stadium aren’t made.
