A group led by billionaire Vinod Khosla agreed to buy the 2026 Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, a record price for an NFL franchise, according to ESPN. Here’s the rub: Khosla also owns part of the San Francisco 49ers franchise, so he will have to give up his stake in that team to close the deal.

Allen’s sister, Jody, has run the team as trustee,…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Accept that success looks different to everyone. There are many situations where people who define success differently can still enjoy productive working relationships and each achieve their unique goals. Assess compatible vs. divergent goals.
