Pebble Beach
In the late 1990s, Pebble Beach Golf Links was put up for sale by the Japanese-based company Lone Cypress, Co. Peter Ueberroth, former MLB commissioner, swiftly organized an investment group to acquire it. He first contacted his close friend and neighbor, Clint Eastwood, and their third primary partner was Richard Ferris, the former CEO of United Airlines.
Each of the three main partners contributed $20 million to the investment, and they attracted 132 private minority investors, including golf legend Arnold Palmer, who invested between $2 million and $10 million each. Despite offering a final price of $820 million, lower than a rival’s $1 billion offer, Lone Cypress accepted their proposal because they could close the deal in just 10 days. Clint Eastwood’s popularity in Japan likely helped. The deal was sealed in 1999, and over two decades, their investment tripled in value.
