At 68, Attanasio has a side gig as chairman and principal owner of the
Milwaukee Brewers. His day job is managing partner at Crescent Capital Group, a private credit firm in Los Angeles that he co-founded in 1991. In 2005, the New York-born Attanasio led a group that paid $223 million to buy the Brewers franchise from the family of Bud Selig, commissioner of Major League Baseball at the time. A report this year from CNBC valued the team at $1.7 billion, with revenue of $337 million and EBITDA of $29 million. In 2021, the partners of Crescent Capital sold a controlling 51% stake to Sun Life Financial for up to $338 million, based on milestones. Attanasio and Managing Partner Jean-Marc Chapus remain with the company, which had $43 billion under management last year. In his spare time, Attanasio sits on the boards of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Harvard-Westlake School in Studio City. He also serves as chairman of Major League Baseball’s Investment Committee. He is a member of LA28, the committee that secured the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Baseball: Over the past eight seasons, the Brewers have reached the postseason six times. The team holds the third-highest winning percentage in the National League behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves. After Bob Uecker, the longtime Brewers announcer died earlier this year, Attanasio revealed that the man known as Mr. Baseball almost quit 20 years ago when Attanasio bought the team. Other Sports: In addition to overseeing the Brewers, Attanasio is an investor in the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League and majority owner of the Norwich City Football Club in the English Championship League. Family: Attanasio has two sons with his wife Debbie. The couple owns a house on Broad Beach in Malibu, where Attanasio was once sued for stealing sand off the beach. He’s the older brother of Hollywood producer Paul Attanasio.
