The Dallas Wings are majority-owned by Bill Cameron, who holds the title of Chairman and Majority Owner. Greg Bibb runs the franchise as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner, a role that includes his own ownership stake, and the group also includes minority investors such as Jed Kaplan and Randy Eisenman. So the short answer to who owns the Dallas Wings is Cameron at the top, Bibb as the operating partner with equity, and a smaller circle of outside investors behind them.1Dallas Wings. Front Office
Bill Cameron, Chairman and Majority Owner
Cameron holds the controlling interest in the franchise and has final say over major decisions, including capital spending and executive hiring.1Dallas Wings. Front Office His connection to the team predates its time in Texas. He was part of the Tulsa Shock ownership group and announced plans in July 2015 to move the team to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a relocation the WNBA Board of Governors approved unanimously that same month.2WNBA.

Cameron has reportedly committed roughly $27 million toward a new practice facility and arena upgrades tied to the team’s planned move from Arlington to a renovated Dallas Memorial Auditorium, with the work targeted for completion before the 2027 season. That level of personal capital commitment points to long-term intentions rather than a short-term hold.
Greg Bibb, CEO and Managing Partner
Bibb runs both the basketball and business sides of the franchise. His title of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner means he carries an ownership stake alongside his executive responsibilities, so he isn’t simply a hired manager answering to Cameron.1Dallas Wings.

In practice, Bibb is the primary point of contact between the ownership group, the WNBA league office, and the players and staff. His portfolio covers revenue strategy, player transactions, broadcasting agreements, and league compliance.
Minority Owners and Investors
The ownership group also includes minority investors who put in capital without running the team. Two publicly known names joined in mid-2024:
- Jed Kaplan, a minority owner of the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies, purchased a 0.5 percent stake.
- Randy Eisenman, a hedge fund founder, also purchased a 0.5 percent stake.
Those two transactions valued the whole franchise at roughly $208 million, a sharp jump from earlier estimates that had placed the Wings at around $75 million. Minority investors in professional sports franchises typically hold their stakes through limited partnership or similar arrangements. They receive equity and a share of any future appreciation, but they have no authority over basketball decisions, hiring, or day-to-day business, and their financial exposure is generally limited to what they invested.
What the Franchise Is Worth Now
The $208 million figure established by the Kaplan and Eisenman investments is the number to anchor on when thinking about who owns what. It drew attention because the Wings had one of the league’s worst on-court records at the time, so the valuation reflected the WNBA’s broader growth more than the current roster. For comparison, three new WNBA expansion franchises were approved at a fee of $250 million each, placing an established team like the Wings close to expansion-team pricing.
When Cameron first acquired the team in Tulsa, WNBA franchises traded for a fraction of today’s figures. The spread between that purchase price and the current valuation represents large paper gains for the controlling owner, though those gains only convert to cash through a sale or an additional equity offering. For now, Cameron is still writing checks into the franchise rather than cashing out of it.
