Vince McMahon has sold a significant portion of his TKO stock, with Endeavor Group Holdings—the majority owner of WWE and UFC’s parent company—being the buyer. According to Variety, on June 3, 2025, McMahon sold 15.79 million shares of TKO Class A common stock at $158.32 per share, netting approximately $250 million. The deal was finalized on June 4th, confirmed by an SEC filing.
Endeavor Group Holdings, now known as the WME Group, agreed to purchase 1.579 million shares of TKO’s Class A common stock from McMahon, as stated in the filing. This latest sale pushes McMahon’s total TKO stock sales beyond $2 billion, including a previous $311.2 million transaction in April 2024.
Following this sale, Endeavor holds 61.7% of TKO’s outstanding shares. Since merging WWE with UFC to form TKO in 2023, Endeavor has been solidifying control over the company McMahon built over decades.
McMahon stepped down from the TKO board in January 2024 amid sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations from a former WWE employee, which he has denied. The fallout led to his departure from WWE leadership.
Meanwhile, McMahon has launched a private investment firm called 14th & i, based in Stamford, Connecticut, focusing on sports, media, and entertainment. The company aims to support management teams with expertise, resources, and partnerships, according to Bradbloom, a former WWE executive now president of the firm. He revealed that McMahon is not retreating but remains active in building new ventures.
Fan Take: This development marks a pivotal moment for WWE fans, as McMahon’s continued stock sales signal a shift in leadership and possibly company vision. While McMahon steps back from day-to-day roles, his new investment ventures might still influence the future direction of sports entertainment, keeping fans eager to see what’s next.
