About Stephen Ross
Stephen Ross was a tax attorney before founding Related Companies in 1972 as an affordable housing developer.
In all, Related has developed or acquired more than $60 billion worth of properties of all kinds from California to Abu Dhabi to Shanghai.
After a decade of planning and construction, Related Co.'s Hudson Yards on Manhattan's west side opened to the public in March 2019.
Related is building two new mega-developments, The 78 in Chicago and Related Santa Clara in California, that will be comparable in size to Hudson Yards.
Ross also owns the Miami Dolphins NFL team and has stakes in Equinox Fitness, SoulCycle and numerous fast casual restaurant chains.
The NFL suspended Ross for two months in August 2022 and fined him $1.5 million for tampering; he "strongly disagreed with the [NFL's] conclusions."
