He bought the UFC for $2M and sold it for $4B. This is “Lonian”the 285-foot, $160M Feadship owned by Lorenzo Fertitta. Fertitta hails from the colorful Fertitta clan which used to run Galveston, Texas, in the first half of the 20th century before it was shut down as a gambling Mecca. The family then took their trade to Las Vegas, becoming a lynchpin in the city’s myth creation, and forming a partial basis for the movie “Casino.” They minted a few billionaires along the way. There’s U.S. ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta, as well as his (somewhat distant) cousins Lorenzo and Frank Jr. The latter two men famously bought the UFC for $2M in 2001 when MMA was a no-name sport that was illegal in much of the U.S. The Fertittas installed a high school acquaintance and jiu jitsu-class buddy named Dana White as CEO and the rest is sports history. The three men turned the UFC into one of the largest and most profitable sports leagues on Earth, and the Fertittas eventually saw a $4B exit in 2016. Fertitta also owns “Hodor” a 217-foot catamaran which follows “Lonian” all around the globe carrying speedboats, ATVs, Jet Skis, and more. The all-aluminum craft has been hailed as “the world’s largest toybox.” Nice video by @hostage_inc

Tilman Fertitta didn’t come through the front door of Wall Street.⁠ He showed up in jeans and boots, armed with a blunt, uncomplicated rule: Buy it. Fix it. Keep it. While others waited for the right market conditions, Fertitta moved—buying in boom times and downturns alike.⁠ He began small: a single seafood restaurant. What followed was momentum. Year after year, he kept acquiring, paying little attention to the cycles that left competitors frozen in analysis.⁠ Within five years, that first bet had grown into a sprawling restaurant empire, each location sharpened and scaled under his control. Then he widened the lens—into hotels, aquariums, and eventually casinos—building a footprint that stretched across hospitality and entertainment. And he never slowed down.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ For more good content:⁠ ⁠ 👉 Follow @ceo.forum⁠ 👉 Follow @ceo.forum⁠ 👉 Follow @ceo.forum⁠ ⁠ ⁠ DM for credit or removal request (no copyright intended) ©️ All rights and credits reserved to the respective owner(s)⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #tilmanfertitta #businessman #restaurants #hotels #casinos #nba #houstonrockets

Is Tilman Fertitta about to roll the dice on Caesars? 🎲 The Houston billionaire is reportedly in talks to buy Caesars Entertainment in a deal worth about $7 billion — a move that would vastly expand his gaming, hospitality and real estate empire. The twist: Fertitta is now the U.S. ambassador to Italy and San Marino, and Carl Icahn is reportedly in the mix, too. Even more, much of Caesars’ real estate is owned by Vici Properties, not Caesars itself. Get the full story at the link in bio.

This is not his big boat. As we touched on the other day, this is Lorenzo Fertitta’s 219-foot powercat “Hodor” which follows around his 285-foot Feadship “Lonian” carrying toys of all sorts. Fertitta famously bought the UFC with his brother Frank Jr. in 2001 for $2M and sold it 15 years later for $4B. That’s a 201,150% return for those of you playing along at home. That’s the kind of dough that lets you buy a 219-foot dinghy, which isn’t even really accurate since the boat is a catamaran. It has the same amount of onboard space as a 300-foot-plus monohull. While “Lonian” houses Fertitta and his friends and family, “Hodor” is mostly used for extra crew, and also carries a helicopter, 56-foot speedboat, a bevy of ATVs and Jet Skis, and a decompression chamber for divers, among other goodies. While no one seems to know what Lonian means, Hodor is a character in Game of Thrones. Though massive, he was rendered mostly senseless by a traumatic neurological event. It remains unclear if he ever fought in the UFC heavyweight division. Video nicely shot by @drone_yachtie
