New York Giants valued at $10.8B amid Tisch family equity transfer request

As New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings look to transfer a stake into a children’s trust, the franchise’s overall value has been revealed.

An NFL memo obtained by ESPN earlier this month revealed that the Tisch family – Steve, Jonathan and Laurie – were seeking to transfer their collective ownership stake in the franchise to their children. The proposed stake was 23.1% of the team.

The proposed equity transfer values ​​the team at $10.8 billion, according to Sports Business Journal, which would put a 23.1% stake at about $2.5 billion.

For comparison, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross sold 1% of his team to billionaire entrepreneur Lin Bin for a record valuation of $12.5 billion.

Koch Industries board member Julia Koch also purchased a 10% stake in Giants, valued at $10.3 billion, in October 2025.

It’s also worth noting that the NFL memo stated, “As a result of the transactions, the sellers will no longer hold any interest in the club.”

It is unclear whether the transfer requests have anything to do with Steve Tisch’s name appearing in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice in January. His name appeared more than 400 times in the records, and although he said at the time that he knew Epstein, he denied visiting Epstein’s infamous island.

“We had a brief association during which we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed films, philanthropy and investments,” Steve Tisch said in a Jan. 31 statement. “I didn’t respond to any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret having been associated with.”

The U.S. Department of Justice has released more than 3 million documents related to the Epstein investigation, including email exchanges from April 2013 to June 2013 between Tisch and Epstein. Some of these exchanges appear to show conversations about women.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in February that the league would look into Steve Tisch’s association with Epstein.

“We will look at absolutely all the facts,” Goodell said at a news conference in San Jose, Calif., during Super Bowl week. “We’ll look at the context and try to understand this. We’ll see how it fits into the league’s (personal conduct) policy. I think we’ll take it step by step. Let’s start with the facts.”

The Tisch family has owned the Giants since 1991 alongside the Mara family, who founded the franchise in 1925.
