As the daughter of a college professor at the University of Kansas, education has always been key for investor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Clara Wu Tsai — alongside an undying passion for sports.
As the Vice Chair of BSE Global, Wu Tsai and husband Joe Tsai own majority interests in the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, the WNBA’s New York Liberty, and the Barclays Center that both teams call home, as well as the National Lacrosse League’s San Diego Seals. Those commitments have done little to slow her prolific philanthropic commitments across science, the arts, and social justice causes in New York and beyond with the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation.
Through the Foundation, Wu Tsai seeks to confront income inequality, institutionalized racism, and criminal justice reform. She additionally donated to create dedicated brain science institutes at her alma mater, Stanford University, and Yale University and has executive produced three feature films dating back to 2018.
