Jeanie Buss has a net worth of $700 million as of 2024. Her primary source of income is her stake in the LA Lakers franchise which she inherited from her father Jerry Buss.
She inherited 66% of the Lakers and serves as the team's president and controlling owner. The Lakers are worth an estimated $4.4 billion.
Jeanie has been involved with the Lakers since she was 19. She worked her way up through the organization before eventually taking over as president.
Jeanie took full control of the Lakers in 2017 after a legal battle with her brothers Jim and Johnny who tried to cut her out of key decisions.
Under Jeanie's leadership, the Lakers have won NBA championships and signed stars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Beyond the Lakers, Jeanie has invested in real estate and businesses. She won an Emmy for producing a Lakers documentary.
Jeanie earns income from endorsements, appearances, and sponsorships though the details are not public.
The majority of Jeanie's wealth comes from her stake in the Lakers. If she sold her shares, her net worth would increase significantly.
Jeanie's net worth is expected to continue growing through increases in the Lakers' valuation and revenue as well as income from her other business ventures.
