Josh Harris

American investor and founder of 26North, former co-founder of Apollo Global Management.

History and structure

Harris built an alternative-investment management career and co-founded Apollo Global Management. His professional investments and sports-team holdings are described in his company biography.

Current documented status

He founded 26North in 2022. Cantor Fitzgerald in May 2025 identified 26North as the firm leading a proposed minority-investor group during a Lutnick family ownership transition. His separate former Apollo association also connects him institutionally to Marc Rowan; it does not mean the two firms operate as one.

Education, family and sports ownership

Harris graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School with a degree in economics and received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. His public biography identifies his wife as Marjorie and says the couple has five children.

In addition to investment management, Harris founded Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. The group's holdings include the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils; Harris is also managing partner of the Washington Commanders. These professional and ownership roles are distinct from his participation in private funds and the announced Cantor Fitzgerald minority investor group.
