Massachusetts native Bill Chisholm is set to become the next owner of the Boston Celtics after agreeing to purchase the NBA's winningest franchise for a record $6.1 billion. The league's Board of Governors will need to approve the deal before it is finalized.
Chisholm is a native of Georgetown, MA and went to Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. His new group will become the majority owner of the team. He's joined by current Celtics minority owner Robert Hale, the president of Related Companies Bruce Beal Jr., and the global investment firm Sixth Street. Current team governor Wyc Grousbeck is expected to remain in a leadership role with the team until the sale is completed in 2028.
