Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss?…
Grab your green foam fingers and start practicing your celebratory dances, Celtics fans! The Boston Celtics have found a new (and very rich) friend in town: William Chisholm. With a jaw-dropping $6.1 billion, that’s nine zeros, folks—a record shattering amount, he swooped in and snagged the Celts. Symphony Technology Group’s managing director is bringing a Massachusetts touch back to the team, as he’s a local guy who probably doodled basketballs in his Dartmouth lecture notes.
Chisholm, a proud Georgetown, Mass. native, wears his Celtics fandom on his sleeve, or more likely on his wallet. Now, whether he stuffs his pockets with four-leaf clovers or not remains to be seen, but having someone with deep roots in the area sure melts even the coldest sports critic’s heart. Our man Adam Himmelsbach seems to think Chisholm is as committed as anyone to keeping the leprechauns lucky.
Now, let’s talk numbers bigger than your imagination – a potential $500 million snuggling up to the salary/luxury tax. Breaking piggy banks might become the new hobby for the new Celtics overlord. Meanwhile, Wyc Grousbeck, the reigning green guardian, will stick around through the 2027-28 season, ensuring the transition isn’t as rocky as Shaq running point guard. Stay tuned for the financial fireworks, Boston!
