Early life[edit]

Lerner is the son of Annette and Ted Lerner.[4] He graduated from the George Washington University School of Business with a BBA in 1975.[5]

Career[edit]

In 2006, Lerner's father purchased the Washington Nationals from MLB for $450 million.[6] In 2018, his father retired and he stepped into the managing principal owner position.[7][3]
