The son of NFL legend Al Davis started out in the Raiders' equipment room, after which he progressed to team retail, where it's said that he pioneered the muff-style hand warmer that is now a league-wide commodity.
Mark's father, who died in 2011, gradually nurtured him into sports management. By then, Mark Davis was ready to take over the Oakland Raiders. So, in 2011, Mark Davis became the principal owner and managing partner of the Raiders.
Mark and his mother took control of the Raiders despite owning just 47% of the franchise due to a contractual stipulation that they have full controlling interest without needing to own more than 50%.
At the time of his father's death, the Las Vegas Raiders were valued at $750 million; as of 2024, they're valued at a staggering $6-7 billion by Celebrity Net Worth.
What to expect from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024?
The Las Vegas Raiders missed the postseason entirely in the just-concluded 2023 NFL season. That shouldn't have come as a surprise, as the franchise underwent a lot of turbulence, from Josh McDaniels' reign to questionable quarterback play by Jimmy Garoppolo.
However, following Antonio Pierce's permanent hire, the signing of an experienced quarterback in Gardner Minshew, and the existence of a stacked running back room, the Raiders have no excuse for the upcoming season.
The franchise is well-placed to push for a postseason spot, and Davis expects his faith in Antonio Pierce to be repaid.
