Khosla Family Acquires Seahawks | Fayetteville News

The Seattle Seahawks are officially changing hands — for a jaw-dropping $9.6 billion — as the Khosla family, co-owners of the San Francisco 49ers, take over the franchise. The deal, approved unanimously by NFL owners at a special meeting in Atlanta, comes hot on the heels of the Seahawks’ second Super Bowl win, making it a rare and golden opportunity. Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures and worth $13.7 billion, praised the late Paul Allen’s estate for entrusting them with the team, while also acknowledging their prior NFL experience as a key asset. Their son Neal played a major role in the decision, and the family is eager to connect with Seattle’s passionate “12s” fanbase. Commissioner Roger Goodell called it “great timing,” highlighting how uncommon it is to buy a championship team right after it wins it all.
