York family and 49ers
The York family's association with the 49ers began in 1977 when Edward DeBartolo Sr., the maternal grandfather of Jed, purchased the team for $13 million, with his son, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., acting as the owner.
The 49ers achieved remarkable success during their ownership, securing five Super Bowl titles and establishing themselves as one of the premier franchises in the NFL.
Jed York was initially named team president in 2008, later ascending to the role of team owner at the age of 46 in 2024, when he acquired his mother's stake.
