## Resource

Episode 259: What does owning a sports team actually involve – and can they be run like regular businesses? Today, Ann sits down with David Rubenstein, owner of the Baltimore Orioles and co-founder of the Carlyle Group ahead of the release of his new book, “Inside the Owner’s Box.” They unpack the soaring valuations of sports franchises, the rise of private equity and startup leagues, and why David believes ownership is about more than making money. Plus, David discusses his commitment to Baltimore and what he calls “patriotic philanthropy.” Finally, Ann gives more details on her next steps.  Visit Schwab.com/FinancialDecoder www.brewmarkets.com  Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...
