The trio met at investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert, and struck out on their own after the troubled firm filed for bankruptcy. After stepping down from Apollo in 2022, Harris founded 26North, another investment firm which now has $37 billion in assets under management. Harris led a group that bought the NFL's Washington Commanders for $6.05 billion in 2023 and serves as the team's managing partner. He and David Blitzer also founded Harris Bltizer Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and other sports assets.
