The New York Liberty have added a powerhouse group of new investors led by Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma and author and finance exec Karen Finerman, along with Thasunda Brown Duckett, Karlie Kloss, Gabrielle Rubenstein, and Samantha Lasry.⁠ ⁠ It comes after the team sold a minority stake at a record $450 million valuation, the highest ever for a women’s sports franchise. The group’s investment will help fund a new practice facility in Greenpoint, pending WNBA approval. ⁠ Fresh off a 32-8 season and their first WNBA title, the Liberty are building something big with even more momentum behind them.
