How much is Josh Harris Worth? Josh Harris Net Worth in 2026
Josh Harris’s net worth is estimated at $10 billion as of November 2026. He made his first fortune buying companies at Apollo, but the best trade on his record is a basketball team: the Philadelphia 76ers cost his group $280 million in 2011 and were valued at $6.1 billion in 2026. On our numbers, about two thirds of what he owns today is sports teams.

How much is Josh Harris worth in 2026?
We estimate Josh Harris is worth about $10 billion, in a range of $8 billion to $13 billion. The team values are published, but his share of each one isn’t, so those rows rest on our assumptions.
Most public estimates run higher than ours, for two reasons. We hold his Apollo shares at the last value we could open, from June 2023, and we don’t add cash from 32 years of Apollo profits, because much of it has gone into buying teams. If he holds a larger slice of the Commanders or HBSE than we assume, the higher estimates could be right.
How we got to $10 billion
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Apollo shares | $2.54 billion | The value of his Apollo shares as of June 2023, the latest figure we could open. Apollo closed at $116.75 on November 6, 2026, but without a share count or the 2023 price we can’t update it, and he may have sold some since. |
| Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment | $4.37 billion | HBSE, owner of the 76ers and Devils, was valued at $14.58 billion in 2025. Our assumption: he owns 30 percent. He co-founded it with David Blitzer, and limited partners own the rest. |
| Washington Commanders | $2.45 billion | The team was valued at $9.8 billion in Forbes’ September 2026 NFL ranking. Our assumption: 25 percent for the man who led the buying group and is managing partner. |
| 26North | $0.52 billion | The firm manages $37 billion. Our assumption: it is worth 2 percent of that, $0.74 billion, and he owns 70 percent. |
| Steelers stake, sold | $0.14 billion | He bought in for $140 million in 2020 and sold in early 2024. No price was published, so we use cost. |
| Crystal Palace | $0.1 billion | Our assumption for an 18 percent stake bought in 2015, with no published club value. |
| Homes | $0.08 billion | At cost: a Manhattan mansion bought for $52 million in November 2017 and a Miami Beach house bought for $32 million in July 2021, $84 million together. |
| Gifts | minus $0.04 billion | Published gifts include $10 million to the University of Pennsylvania, more than $7 million for COVID-19 relief and $5 million each to Harvard Business School, a wellness center and a school athletic center. With smaller gifts listed in his biography, the total is about $41 million. |
| Total | $10 billion | Our sum is $10.16 billion. |
$280 million to $6.1 billion
His group bought the 76ers in October 2011 for $280 million and the New Jersey Devils in August 2013 for $320 million, his biography records. The 76ers were valued at $6.1 billion in 2026 and the Devils at $2.4 billion in 2025.
Our calculation: the 76ers grew 21.8 times in 15 years, about 22.8 percent a year. The Devils grew 7.5 times in 12 years, about 18.3 percent a year. For comparison, the most famous deal of his Apollo career, a $2 billion investment in LyondellBasell in 2008, ended in a $9.6 billion profit when it was sold in 2013. That was a better five years, but it was mostly other people’s money.
The teams are 68 percent of our total, counting HBSE, the Commanders and Crystal Palace. That makes him more exposed to sports valuations than to private equity, the business he spent 32 years in.
From Drexel to Apollo to 26North
He joined Drexel Burnham Lambert in 1986, spent two months at Blackstone in 1990, and co-founded Apollo that same year. He stepped down as senior managing director in January 2022 and left the board that October. His Forbes profile says 26North, the firm he started in September 2022, now manages $37 billion. He lives in Miami.
The Commanders came in 2023 for about $6.05 billion, the highest price paid for a sports team at the time. They were valued at $7.6 billion in December 2025 and $9.8 billion in September 2026, 62 percent above the purchase price in about three years.
What could move the number
Two big building projects are in motion. The Commanders announced a redevelopment of the RFK Stadium site in April 2025, priced at about $3.7 billion to $3.8 billion, and HBSE won a WNBA team for Philadelphia in June 2025 with a $250 million bid, starting play in 2030. A disclosed ownership split for the Commanders or HBSE would move this page more than anything else: each 5 points of HBSE changes our figure by about $730 million. So would a new Apollo share count. Apollo’s price was $116.75 on November 6, 2026, after closing at $136.58 at the end of August.
