Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Seen House Hunting in Malibu as Joshua Kushner and Bob Iger Buy the Lakers

The timing spotlights family business ties and possible involvement questions while reports surface of a federal inquiry into the seller.

Overview

  • Page Six reports Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were recently spotted touring Malibu homes and dining at Nobu with Secret Service protection, and their representatives declined to comment.
  • Joshua Kushner and former Disney CEO Bob Iger agreed to buy the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion in a deal Iger said “came together in three days.”
  • There is no verified evidence that Jared Kushner is part of the Lakers ownership group despite past business overlap between the Kushner brothers through ventures such as Cadre and JK2.
  • Reporting says seller Mark Walter was the subject of a reported federal probe into accounting and financial transactions before the sale, a detail that adds uncertainty to the transaction’s background.
  • Watch for formal disclosures and regulatory filings that could clarify ownership roles or legal questions, and for whether a move to the Los Angeles area would increase public sightings of the family at Lakers games.
