As New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings want to transfer a stake to a children’s foundation, the total value of the franchise has been revealed.
An NFL memo obtained by ESPN earlier this month indicated that the Tisch family — Steve, Jonathan and Laurie — are seeking a transfer of their collective stake in the franchise to their children. The proposed share was 23.1% of the team.
The proposed equity transfer values the team at $10.8 billion, according to the Sports Business Journal, which would put a 23.1% stake at about $2.5 billion.

By comparison, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross sold 1% of his team to billionaire entrepreneur Lin Bin at a valuation of a record $12.5 billion.
Julia Koch, a board member at Koch Industries, also bought a 10% stake in the Giants with a valuation of $10.3 billion in October 2025.

It’s also worth noting that the NFL memo said, “Following the transactions, the sellers will no longer own any interest in the club.”
It is not known whether the transfer requests have anything to do with Steve Tisch’s name appearing in the Epstein files released by the US Justice Department in January. His name appeared more than 400 times in the files, and although he said at the time he knew of Epstein, he denied ever visiting Epstein’s infamous island.

“We had a brief encounter where we exchanged emails about grown women, and in addition discussed movies, philanthropy and investments,” Steve Tisch said in a Jan. 31 statement. “I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a horrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
The US Department of Justice released more than 3 million documents related to the Epstein investigation, which included email exchanges from April 2013 to June 2013 between Tisch and Epstein. Some of these exchanges appear to show conversations about women.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in February that the league would investigate Steve Tisch’s association with Epstein.
“Absolutely, we’re going to look at all the facts,” Goodell said at a news conference in San Jose, Calif., during Super Bowl week. “We’ll look at the context of them and try to understand it. We’ll look at how it fits into (the league’s personal conduct). I think we’ll take it one step at a time. Let’s get the facts first.”

The Tisch family has been involved in Giants ownership since 1991, along with the Mara family, which founded the franchise in 1925.
