The private life of the 3 billion-dollar man, Jam Najafi, who is the future owner of Tottenham

He serves as partial owner and vice chairman of the Phoenix Suns professional basketball team and a governor on the board of the National Basketball Association. After majority owner Robert Sarver was suspended from team operations for one year that stated Sarver “engaged in conduct that clearly violated common workplace standards … included the use of racially insensitive language; unequal treatment of female employees; statements and conduct; and harsh treatment of employees that on occasion constituted bullying” Najafi called on Sarver to resign. While Sarver served his season-long suspension in September 2022, Najafi was considered a candidate to take on the role of interim team governor for the Suns before the position was ultimately given to Sam Garvin. When Robert Sarver eventually sold the team to new ownership led by Mat Ishbia and his brother Justin Ishbia, Najafi was one of three minority team owners to keep all their stakes with the team once the sale went through on February 7, 2023.
