About Me
Michael Rees is cofounder and co-president of Blue Owl, which manages $250 billion and formed in 2021 when his Dyal Capital merged with Owl Rock Capital. Dyal, since renamed Blue Owl GP Strategic Capital, is known for buying minority stakes in more than 60 other private equity firms. Rees' division also invests in professional sports, with a fund that owns pieces of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks.
