The New York Giants just made headlines with a major ownership shake-up. According to Turner & Williams of Bloomberg News, the team has “agreed to sell a minority stake” to Julia Koch and members of the Koch family. The deal isn’t fully sealed yet, though. Sources also revealed the talks are “subject to final agreement by both sides, with the expectation to present the deal to other NFL owners in October.” For Big Blue, that means a fresh face could soon be joining the iconic Mara and Tisch ownership legacy. But here’s a thing, this move didn’t just happen out of nowhere.
Back in February, the Mara and Tisch families brought in Moelis & Co. to explore a potential minority, non-controlling sale. And Koch herself has been “looking to invest in New York sports assets.” And she’s not new to the game either. Just last year, Julia and her three children purchased a 15% stake in BSE Global—the parent company of the Nets, Liberty, and Barclays Center—valued at $6 billion, as noted by Bloomberg News on September 3. Clearly, she’s steadily planting her footprint in New York’s sports empire.
So, who exactly is Koch? Julia Margaret Flesher Koch isn’t just a socialite and philanthropist, she’s also one of the wealthiest women alive. As of 2025, her fortune sits at a staggering $81.2 billion. That wealth comes from the 42% stake in Koch, Inc. she and her three children inherited after her husband, David Koch, passed away in 2019 at the age of 79.
