Todd’s Early Life

Boehly graduated from Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1991. His grandparents immigrated from Germany. He competed on the school’s wrestling team, which captured the I.A.C. title in 1990 and 1991. In 2014, Landon gave Boehly’s facilities the name “Boehly Family Wrestling Room.” Boehly earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the College of William & Mary in 1996. He also attended the London School of Economics for academics. Boehly started working at Citibank and then CS First Boston while he was a student at the London School of Economics.

Business Career And Philanthropic Works

Early in his career, Boehly worked for J.H. Whitney & Company and Credit Suisse First Boston. He started the company’s credit investing division in 2001, took over the asset management division, and served as president of Guggenheim Partners. Boehly oversaw an agreement in early 2013 between Time Warner Cable and the Major League Baseball team Los Angeles Dodgers to establish SportsNet LA, a local network to air Dodgers-related content and all Dodgers games. With the 2014 baseball season, the team-owned network started airing programming. Boehly founded Eldridge, a private holding firm that makes investments across a range of businesses, in 2015 using some of the assets he had amassed at Guggenheim, including The Hollywood Reporter, Dick Clark Productions, and Security Benefit. Eldridge has offices not just in Greenwich but also in New York, London, and Beverly Hills.

Security Benefit Life Insurance and SE2, an insurance industry technology platform, are owned by Boehly’s company Eldridge. He made investments in Clearcover Insurance and DPL Financial Advisors, an RIA insurance network, while serving as Eldridge’s CEO, chairman, and co-founder. Among his real estate holdings is Cain International, a company that Eldridge, Kennedy Wilson, and Langdon Park Capital jointly own. He was a founding member of the European real estate investment group Blackbrook Capital.

Boehly is a part owner of both the Los Angeles Sparks and the Los Angeles Dodgers, owning 20% of each team. He is the proprietor of the esports league Cloud9 and the fantasy sports startup DraftKings. The English football team Chelsea was up for sale in 2019 but Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire entrepreneur, rejected Boehly’s $3 billion buyout offer. Along with Mark Walter, Hansjörg Wyss, and Clearlake Capital, he put in an offer in March 2022 to purchase the club from Abramovich, who had made the announcement that he intended to sell it in the midst of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Chelsea announced the application had been accepted and will be finalized by the end of the month on May 6, 2022. Because Abramovich is a citizen of Portugal, the UK, Portuguese government, Premier League, and European Union all authorized the proposal. The takeover of the club was finished on May 30. Dick Clark Productions and Billboard-Hollywood Reporter Media Group are owned by MRC, whose chairman is Boehly. A24 and Fulwell 73 both have investments from MRC. The merger of Boehly’s MRC with Penske Media Corporation, which would oversee major periodicals Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Music Business Worldwide, was announced in September 2020. Through a second joint venture, MRC and Penske revealed ambitions to handle content like television shows, movies, and live events. The company acquired a controlling ownership stake in South by Southwest in 2021.
