Dan Snyder lives out of sight in London after $6.05 billion Commanders sale
Since selling the Washington Commanders for $6.05 billion to Josh Harris, Dan Snyder has retreated to London and kept a very low public profile.
The Washington Commanders were sold in July 2023 for $6.05 billion to private-equity billionaire Josh Harris, ending Dan Snyder's ownership that had been marred by congressional, state and NFL investigations into harassment and financial improprieties. After the deal, Snyder and his wife Tanya moved to London, where he now lives a near-invisible life, according to former associates and league contacts. Sources say NFL personnel have essentially cut off communication with him, and his name is rarely mentioned within the league.
Snyder purchased a $67 million residence in a central-London development and spends time aboard his 305-foot yacht, Lady S, traveling around the UK and Europe. His UK investment arm also placed capital with Apollo Global Management. One outlet reported speculation in early 2025 that Snyder might invest in a Premier League club, but no definitive purchase has been recorded. One outlet estimates his net worth at $4.7 billion, yet he shows no indication of returning to American sports ownership.
