About

He held roughly a 4% stake in AEG as of 2012, and is well known for his relationship with notoriously reclusive AEG founder and Denver-based billionaire Philip Anschutz, whom he has known since the early 1990s. Since November 2015, Leiweke has been the CEO of Oak View Group, "a global advisory, development, and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industries". On July 9, 2025, he was indicted by the DOJ for violating the Sherman Act and subsequently stepped down as CEO of Oak View Group, taking a position as vice chair pending the outcome of the litigation. Recent reports have also shed light on his alleged shady dealings with Live Nation and Ticketmaster which resulted in illegal kickbacks in the tens of millions. On December 2, 2025 he received a pardon from President Trump.
