Meet Lynn Leonsis: The Power Behind the Sports Empire

Ted Leonsis is a big name in the world of sports and business. He owns teams like the Washington Wizards and the Washington Capitals, and even the Capital One Arena. But who's the person standing beside him? Let's talk about Lynn Leonsis. Lynn comes from a family in Lake Forest, Illinois. She grew up with her sister, Pamela Peterson. While we don't know much about her education, we do know that she met Ted through sports. He was playing doubles tennis one day, and that's where he saw Lynn for the first time. It was love at first sight for Ted. They've been together ever since, getting married in 1987. The couple has two kids, Zach and Elle. Zach works with his dad at Monumental Sports & Entertainment. Elle is married to Toby Helme. Lynn and Ted are not just a power couple in business, but also in giving back to the community. They have a family foundation that focuses on children's education and supporting the broader Washington community. They've donated millions to causes like Georgetown University and Calvary Women's Services.
