Glen Allen Taylor (born April 20, 1941) is an American billionaire business magnate and politician from Minnesota.[1] Taylor made his fortune as the founder and owner of Minnesota-based Taylor Corporation, one of the largest graphic communication companies in the United States.
Taylor is the majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association and the owner of the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association. He is also part owner of the Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer. In addition to his sports team ownership, Taylor has owned the Star Tribune, Minnesota's largest newspaper, since 2014.
Taylor served in the Minnesota Senate as a Republican from 1981 to 1990. He planned to run for governor of Minnesota in 1990, but ultimately chose not to due to problems in his marriage. He remains a large donor to Republican candidates.[2]
Ranked as the richest person in Minnesota,[3] Taylor is listed on the Forbes 400 and his company ranks on Forbes's list of America's largest private companies.[4] In 2023, Forbes reported his net worth to be $2.8 billion.[5]
