Who is Vinod Khosla? Group led by Indian-American billionaire Vinod Khosla buys Seattle Seahawks for record $9.6 billion

The Seattle Seahawks have been sold to a family-led ownership group headed by Indian-American billionaire Vinod Khosla and his wife, Neeru Khosla, in a deal valued at $9.6 billion, the highest sale price for an NFL franchise. The transaction surpasses the Washington Commanders' $6.05 billion sale in 2023. NFL owners are expected to vote on approving the sale on August 26, with Neeru Khosla set to serve as the controlling owner.

In a statement on behalf of the family, Vinod Khosla said they were honoured to become the next stewards of the Seahawks and looked forward to building on the legacy created by late owner Paul Allen while earning the trust of the organisation and its fans.
