Tony Khan, born on October 10, 1982, is the son of Pakistani billionaire Shahid Khan and Ann Carlson. Known for his significant business ventures, Khan is the co-owner and founder of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he also holds various managerial roles. Additionally, he serves as the Senior President of Football and Analytics for the Jacksonville Jaguars and is the Vice-chairman and Director of Football Operations for Fulham FC.
As of 2023, Tony Khan’s net worth is estimated at $1.5 billion, reflecting his successful business ventures across multiple industries. Khan’s journey into wrestling began later in his career, after he graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2007. He joined the Jaguars in 2012 and Fulham in 2017 but made his mark in the wrestling world in 2018. That year, Khan founded AEW, with his father, Shahid Khan, as the largest investor, contributing around $100 million. AEW quickly gained recognition, hosting its first major event, “Double or Nothing,” at MGM in Las Vegas in 2019. Under Tony’s leadership, AEW became a formidable competitor to WWE, attracting top wrestlers with its creative freedom and positive work culture.
In 2022, Tony Khan expanded AEW’s reach by acquiring Ring of Honor (ROH), managing it as a separate entity while promoting joint events like “Forbidden Door” where AEW and ROH wrestlers face off. Khan’s work in the industry has earned him accolades, including the Promoter of the Year award in 2019 and 2020 and the Best Booker award in 2020.
Khan’s financial success extends beyond wrestling. In 2018, he invested in TruMedia Networks, eventually becoming its owner and chairman. His investments in AEW and ROH have paid off, making them profitable ventures. Khan also owns multiple properties, including large houses in Illinois, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Manhattan, and has a luxurious car collection that includes a Jaguar F-Type, Lamborghini, Ferrari Enzo, and Mercedes Benz.
Despite his wealth, Khan remains active in charity work. In 2022, AEW donated $100,000 to Oceana, and he partnered with the Jacksonville Jaguars and AEW for the Kultureball event. His involvement with the Owen Hart Foundation further demonstrates his commitment to giving back.
