Career
Stewart Donald, the previous owner of the English League One football team Sunderland A.F.C., sold him a “controlling” stake in the team in 2021.
He became the youngest chairman in English football when he bought the team. On February 15, 2022, it was found out that Louis-Dreyfus wasn’t a majority shareholder of Sunderland because he only owned 41% of the club.
The other 59% of shares were owned by former owner Donald, directors Charlie Methven and Juan Sartori, and the rest of the shares were held by other people.
In June 2022, Louis-Dreyfus raised his stake in Sunderland Association Football Club from 41% to 51%, making him the majority and controlling shareholder.
He did this by buying out Charlie Methvens’s 5% stake and cutting Stewart Donalds’s stake from 34% to 19%. Juan Sartori bought the rest of Stewart’s shares and went from owning 20% to owning 30%.
Louis-Dreyfus also owns 5% of the French soccer team Olympique de Marseille and has shares in the esports company Ovation.
