The son of Donald Trump Jared Kushner plays a key role in one of the largest buyers of private capital in history-$ 55 billion Dollars Giant Electronic Arts (EA) video games. As the founder and CEO of Affinity Partners, Kushner is part of the consortium, which leads an agreement together with the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) and Silver Lake Partners.
Affinity partners: Investment vehicle Kushner
Affinity Partners, a private equity company based in Miami, which was launched by Kushner after her holding as an advisor to the White House, is one of the three key players financing the acquisition of EA. The company contributes to its own capital of $ 36 billion, which will finance an agreement that also includes $ 20 billion in the debt committed by JPMorgan Chase.
“Electronic Arts is an extraordinary company with a team of first -class management and a bold vision for the future,” Kushner said in a statement. “I admired their ability to create an iconic, lasting experience, and as someone who grew up to play their games – and now enjoying them with my children – I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about what was ahead.”
Strategic Partnership with Saudi Arabia
Kushner’s company is closely in line with PIF Saudi Arabia, which already holds a 9.9% share in EA and turns its investment in the transaction. This partnership reflects the wider business strategy of Kushner, which included billions in support of the Saudi sovereign fund for rich partners for affinity partners.
The EA acquisition is the latest of a series of game investment from PIF, which previously acquired shares in companies such as Nintendo, ESL, Faceit and Scopely. The agreement underlines the ambitions of Saudi Arabia to expand its gaming footprint through the ingenious game group – and Kushner is now a central figure in this expansion.
Kushner’s growing effect on technology and playing
This is not the first highly profile agreement Kushner. The involvement of the affinity of partners in EA follows other significant Silver Lake movements, including its role in a joint company with Oracle to supervise the American operations of Tiktok. Kushner’s presence in these circles signals its growing effect on the intersection of technology, entertainment and global financing.
By helping EA Private and its partners, Kushner and its partners seek to provide greater flexibility to innovate more flexibility without limiting quarterly pressure on earnings. EA, known for franchises such as FIFA, Madden NFL and Sims, has seen stagnant income in recent years and faces the growing competition of mobile and console creators.
Kushner’s heritage outside of politics
While Kushner remains a prominent figure in political circles because of his close ties to President Trump, his role in the acquisition of EA emphasizes the shift towards the global leadership. Its involvement in the largest private capital game agreement will be placed as a key player in shaping the future of digital entertainment.
