Who is her husband Robert?
American billionaire businessman Robert Kenneth Kraft was born in Brookline, Massachusetts USA, on 5 June 1941, so Gemini’s his zodiac sign. He’s the CEO of the diversified holding company Kraft Group, and has been the owner of the National Football League (NFL) team New England Patriots since 1994; since 1996, he’s also been the owner of Major League Soccer (MLS) team New England Revolution, and since 2017 of the e-sports team Boston Uprising.
Robert was raised in Brookline by his father Harry Kraft who was a dress manufacturer, and mother Sarah Bryna (nee Webber) who was a housewife; Robert was raised Jewish, and his father hoped that his son would become a rabbi. He studied at Edward Devotion School, eventually transferring to Brookline High School from which he matriculated in 1959. Robert continued his education at Columbia University; he was the class president and was on the university’s tennis team. He graduated in 1963, and continued his education at Harvard Business School, graduating with a Master’s degree in 1965.
Robert launched his career by joining the firm Rand-Whitney Group, which was owned by his father-in-law Jacob Hiatt; he became its owner in 1968, aged 27, and has been serving as its chairman to this day.
Robert founded the company International Forest Products in 1972, and it ranked #7 on the 2001 list of Top 100 US Export/Import Companies compiled by the magazine “The Journal of Commerce”. He invested in New England Television Corp. in 1982, and in the following year became its board director, becoming the president of the corporation in 1986, then in 1991 sold his shares for $25 million.
Robert’s been interested in investing in sports since the launch of his career. He and four other people bought the World Team Tennis (WTT) team Boston Lobsters in 1974, which became the best team in the following years, but folded in 1978.
In 1988, Robert bought the Schaefer Stadium at which the New England Patriots were playing, and with it the lease to the team through 2001; he purchased the team for $172 million in 1994.
He founded the Major League Soccer team New England Revolution in 1996, and then had plans to purchase a Premier League soccer team, but eventually chose not to.
When Robert bought the Boston Uprising in July 2017, it was one of only seven professional e-sports team for the Overwatch League; they placed third in the league’s inaugural season.
Robert’s donated over $100 million to charity organizations through Kraft Foundation, while he’s also donated $100,000 to the victims’ families of the Boston Marathon bombing, and $6 million for a soccer stadium to be built in Israel.
Robert and 24 others were charged with first-degree misdemeanor for soliciting a prostitute in 2019, while at a spa; the charges were eventually dropped.
