Kushner’s AI Bets Drive Thrive’s Surge as Lakers Bid Looms
Josh Kushner’s Thrive Capital rode bets on OpenAI and SpaceX to a surge in wealth, lifting his net worth to about $16.7 billion and pushing Thrive’s assets under management above $65 billion; a SpaceX IPO boosted Thrive’s SpaceX stake toward $10 billion, Cursor’s $60 billion deal valued Thrive’s stake at about $4.2 billion, and Thrive’s portfolio also includes Amazon, Shopify and Oscar Health. Separately, Kushner and Bob Iger’s $12.5 billion bid to buy the Los Angeles Lakers could unlock further liquidity and may allow for tax-advantaged amortization of intangibles, potentially yielding hundreds of millions in annual tax benefits, though the Lakers stake value remains undisclosed.
