Actor Michael B. Jordan Becomes Part-Owner of EPL Club Bournemouth

Actor Michael B. Jordan is now a part-owner of English Premier League club Bournemouth.

Per Giacomo Pisa of The Sun, Jordan is part of a minority investment group that purchased a stake in the club.

The Premier League ratified the sale of Bournemouth to a group led by Bill Foley.

According to Pisa, Foley will serve as club chairman and will be in attendance for its next home game against Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve.

Maxim Demin, who became a co-owner of the Cherries in 2011 and had been majority owner since 2013, reached a verbal agreement with Foley to sell the club for $150 million in October.
