Biography

Over five decades, Philip Anschutz has built fortunes in oil, railroads, telecom, real estate and entertainment.

He owns the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and a third of the Los Angeles Lakers, plus the arena in which they play, the Staples Center.

His Anschutz Entertainment Group operates more than 100 arenas and concert venues worldwide.

On 300,000 acres he owns in Wyoming, Anschutz aims to build one of the world's biggest wind farms.

He started testing his business acumen early: a six-year-old Anschutz sold Kool-Aid on a nearby college campus using a wheeled stand he built.
