The New York Yankees are currently owned by Yankee Global Enterprises (YGE), an investment group that was formed in 2000 specifically for the purpose of purchasing the team from the estate of previous owner George Steinbrenner. YGE is led by a partnership of two key figures, Hal Steinbrenner and Randy Levine, and has been responsible for overseeing the financial, administrative, and operational aspects of the Yankees franchise.
