    Career

    Private equity and finance

    Harris moved to

    junk bond activity amid an ongoing recession. Harris worked two months at Blackstone before leaving to establish the private equity firm Apollo Global Management with former Drexel partners Leon Black and Marc Rowan later that year.[9] In 2008, Harris led a $2 billion investment into the multinational chemical company LyondellBasell in 2008, which he sold in November 2013 for a profit of $9.6 billion, one of the largest gains in private equity history.[10][11] In April 2009, Harris was ordered to pay $30 million in a settlement to Huntsman Corporation after Apollo was sued for backing out of a merger with them the previous year.[12]

    Harris was among several businessmen in 2017 that met with the

    alternative asset firm 26North in September 2022,[19] with it holding $9.5 billion in assets by the end of the year.[20]

    Harris is on the board of trustees of

    United States Olympic Committee.[22] His family office, HRS Management, was the largest investor in the American political newspaper The Hill until selling to Nexstar Media Group in August 2021.[25] In 2022, Harris invested $10 million in the Philadelphia-based real estate company Mosaic Development Partners and formed a joint venture with Canvas Property Group through HMS Management with the stated goal of buying more than $1 billion worth of properties.[26][27] In 2023, he and investors Mark Penn, James Tisch, and Thomas Peterffy contributed $50 million to a startup fund for The Messenger, a now defunct American news website.[28][29]

    Sports business

    Harris is co-managing partner of the Philadelphia 76ers (above, blue) and the New Jersey Devils (below).

    Harris began contemplating investing in sports after meeting senior Blackstone executive

    Sportico in 2023.[44]

    In 2013, Harris and Blitzer bought the

    Maryland governor Wes Moore and Harris at a Washington Commanders game, 2023

    In 2023, Harris headed a group that purchased the NFL's

    Rob Walton and Greg Penner.[65][66] He was the third limited partner of the Steelers since 2012 to become majority owner of another NFL team, joining Jimmy Haslam of the Cleveland Browns and David Tepper of the Carolina Panthers.[67] Around the same time, he bought a minority stake in Joe Gibbs Racing by way of HBSE.[68]

    Harris employs

    workplace culture.[7][39][69] Harris also invests heavily in sports science and analytics, with 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey being a leading proponent of the field.[70][71] In March 2020, Harris introduced plans to reduce salaries of HBSE, 76ers, and Devils employees making under $100,000 by 20% due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports, which saw the NBA and NHL suspend operations for most of 2020.[72] He reverted the decision within a week after receiving public criticism, including an effort by 76ers All-Star player Joel Embiid to cover the losses of those affected.[72][73]

    Harris and Blitzer have also invested in youth sports. In 2023, the pair bought a youth baseball brand founded by

    MLB Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. and partnered with snowboarder and Olympic gold medalist Shaun White to acquire Oregon-based sports camp operator We Are Camp for $10 million.[74][75] In 2024, Harris and Blitzer invested $10 million in a 115-acre sports complex at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.[76] The pair founded Unrivaled Sports as a parent company to the youth brands shortly after.[77]
