Ari Emanuel Gets $173.8 Million Cash Payout From Endeavor Go-Private Deal With Silver Lake
Ari Emanuel received $173.8 million in cash with Silver Lake's deal to take Endeavor private and Patrick Whitesell got $100 million.
Ari Emanuel converted a portion of his ownership interest in Endeavor into a cash payment of $173.8 million with Silver Lake’s deal to take the company private, according to a regulatory filing. Per an Endeavor filing Monday related to the go-private deal, on March 22, 2025, Emanuel and his living trust updated the exec’s rollover agreement to exclude $173,805,032.50, which he received as a cash payment with the closing of the Silver Lake transaction. Roughly three-fourths of that total was attributed to Emanuel’s role as CEO of TKO Group, the holding company that includes WWE and UFC, from which he had a pay package in 2023 valued at $64.9 million.
