About Me

Donald Sterling, born Donald Tokowitz to Jewish immigrants, built a fortune largely by buying down-at-the-heels apartment buildings in Los Angeles. Sterling owned the Los Angeles Clippers for 33 years; his wife Shelly sold in 2014 after a tape of his racist remarks to his then-mistress surfaced. The Chicago-born billionaire bought the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5 million when the team was based in San Diego. It was sold for $2 billion. Besides a swath of apartments in L.A.'s Westside and Koreatown, he also owns the Beverly Hills Plaza Hotel. Before he purchased his first West Hollywood property, Sterling was a successful trial lawyer.
