The Story of Joe Lewis and How He Got To Own Tottenham Hotspur.

Joe Lewis
Is british billionaire that made his fortune in real estate, forex trading, sports and entertainment.
He was born from a Jewish family in the borough of Bow in London.
He left school when he was just 15 in order to help his father in his catering business.
When he took control of the business expanded his business selling luxury goods to tourists. He also bought several clubs in London, including the Hanover Grand, a place where big names in music played. One of them was David Bowie. In 1979 he sold all his assets in London and cashed in.
After the sale, he moved to the Bahamas to start his currency trading business and turned his company, Tavistock, into an investment company, focused on currency trading and private equity. The firm steadily grew and in 1992 he partecipated in the Pound short along with hedge fund guru George Soros, which I’ve also covered so make sure to check that out as well and subscribe to the channel.
This i show it worked out: at that time Euro didn’t exist yet and all the currencies of the countries that were part of European Union had a fixed exchange rate. So he borrowed the equivalent of $10 billion in pounds from british banks and exchanged it all in USD. The British Central Bank budged wether to delink the currency and let it float freely or raise interest rates in order to regain the value the pound had lost. In the end, the central bank withdrew the pound from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism so Soros gave back the banks the pounds he owed and made more than $1 billion, since the pound sensibly lost value.
Today the firm has offices in the Bahamas where it’s headquartered, Argentina, China, Mexico, United States, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Romania, Noway, Poland, Sweden and Bulgaria.
Tavistock owns properties and companies in many different sectors.
The company usually buys public companies and brings them private or they buy private companies on leverage. They focus on real estate, hospitality, restaurants, sports, energy, retail, life sciences, agriculture and finance.
In Florida Tavistock has built entire communities, small towns with houses, golf courses, health centers etc…
It bought numerous restaurant chains in the US, more than 15. It owns a fund investing in biotechnology startups.
It owns Australian Agriculture Company, a company producing one of highest quality beef in the world. It owns Poland Land Co, one of the largest producers of beef and dairy goods in Poland.
The Tavistock developement company has built an uncountable number of projects, mainly in Massachussets and Florida. For example, it had built the KPMG campus project which is enormous. Anyway it goes from residential, commercial, healthcare and hospitality facilities.
It owns the Tavistock Colegiate Invitational which is a golf tournament that’s not part of the PGA Tour but it hosted champions like Tiger Woods.
It owns Patagonia Energia, a company focused on the production of renewable energy in Argentina.
It owns Saucony, you probably have seen these sneakers around, It partly owns stance socks. Another public figure that invested in this company is Jay Z, coming soon on the channel, make sure to subscribe. It also owns Diadora.
In the finance field it owns 25 capital partners which is specialized in th epurchase of non-performing loans.It owns Ultimate Finance, a financing channel for companies in the UK and Avenue Insurance Partners that is specialized in the credit insurance business.
It owns plenty of real estate in the Bahamas, both for hospitality and businesses. It owns Nexus Club in New York City which is an enormous luxury space with offices, gym, bar, restaurant and much more. It owns Typhoon Sports Coalition which owns different sporting goods chains in the US and Mexico.
It owns many other companies.
One of the main reasons why Lewis is know is the purchase of Tottenham Hotspur. He owned 70.6% of Enic Group and with his partner, Daniel Levy which I’ll later cover, he started buying stakes in Clubs alla round Europe.
They bought almost a 30% stake in Tottenham Hotspur, 25% in the Glasgow Rangers, 96% in Slavia Prague, 47% in AEK Athens, Full Ownership in Vicenza, an italian team, and 50% in Basel, a swiss team. In 2003 they brought ENIC Private Again. In 2007 Lewis and Levy finally decided to focus on Tottenham and decided to sell their interest in the other clubs and further bought shares in Tottenham, ammassing an 85% stake.
