KKR has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit accusing the private equity firm of violating merger filing requirements, according to court filings made public on Wednesday. The settlement resolves allegations that KKR failed to comply with disclosure obligations under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in at least 16 transactions valued at over $24.7 billion combined. The DoJ had initially sought $650 million in civil penalties.
The agreement covers all KKR entities and transactions filed for antitrust review before 2025. The lawsuit was filed during the final week of the Biden administration, with the settlement announced late Wednesday in a federal court submission .
Separately, NFL team owners approved the $9.612 billion sale of the Seattle Seahawks to a group led by billionaire Vinod Khosla, the highest price for a franchise in North American sports history after the Los Angeles Lakers’ $10 billion sale in 2025. The deal, agreed upon on July 11, required approval from at least 24 of the league’s 32 owners. Khosla, 71, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and founder of Khosla Ventures, will relinquish a minority stake in the San Francisco 49ers as part of the agreement.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Khosla said, “We are honoured to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks. How often do you get to buy a franchise that just won the Super Bowl?” He added that the group’s approach would be “long-term focused” and aimed at continuing the team’s winning legacy .
In other financial news, Forbes reported that Wildberries founder and RWB CEO Tatyana Kim remains Russia’s richest woman with a net worth of $5 billion, topping the magazine’s ranking of the country’s 20 wealthiest women for the fifth consecutive year. The combined wealth of the listed women declined by $6.8 billion over the past year, with the number of female billionaires in the ranking more than halving .
