Changes come in the most unexpected ways, and how! Entering an interesting and peaceful Wednesday, did you expect a major turn of events? Surely not. Unless you were actually waiting for the apocalypse or something like that. Jokes apart, Jeanie Buss has sold the Los Angeles Lakers. What? Yes, you’re not dreaming, it’s happening, it’s happened. And now Mark Walter is the new majority owner.
“The Buss family has entered an agreement to sell majority ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter, the CEO of diversified holding company TWG Global. Jeanie Buss will continue to serve in her role as Lakers governor, sources said,” ESPN’s Shams Charania reported. Mark Walter is a known face in the world of baseball and MLB. But not many people know about the Dodgers’ owner’s wife, Kimbra Walter. So, let’s find out. To begin with, not much is known about Mark Walter’s family.

Behind every powerful empire stands a duo that balances impact with influence. While Mark Walter engineered the rise of Guggenheim Partners back in 2000, transforming it into a global financial powerhouse with 2,300 employees across 25 offices, it’s his wife, Kimbra Walter, who brings purpose to the profits. She doesn’t just stand by him—she stands out. As the heartbeat of their philanthropic ventures, Kimbra co-leads the Walter Family Foundation and the Dodgers Foundation. Their most talked-about move? A staggering $100 million commitment to wildfire recovery.
Kimbra Walter is far more than a business philanthropist. Born in New Zealand, she carved her name globally with an eclectic blend of jazz, pop, and electronic music. That same creative spark now powers her contributions to visual arts and nonprofit leadership. She’s also a trustee at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, a quiet but meaningful role.
