AMB Group
Arthur M. Blank's AMB Group manages the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, and Montana ranches from a Home Depot fortune.
AMB Group
The office was established following the sale of Blank's leadership stake in The Home Depot, translating a single retail fortune into a diversified holding company. Blank co-founded the home-improvement giant with Bernard Marcus; the wealth that followed now anchors a family office headquartered in Atlanta, with significant operational nodes at ranch properties in Montana. The structure reflects a deliberate move from corporate retail into a curated set of holdings tied to leisure, sports, and the West. The portfolio spans three distinct verticals. The sports and entertainment division controls the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, MLS's Atlanta United FC, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta. A hospitality and land-management vertical operates four Montana properties: Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, West Creek Ranch, Paradise Valley Ranch, and Auster at Dome Mountain, all near Emigrant and Livingston. The remaining consumer and lifestyle holdings flow through the Blank Family of Businesses umbrella. Blank has also partnered with Tiger Woods on TGL's Atlanta Drive GC, a tech-forward golf league venture. Team size and total deployment are not publicly disclosed. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium serves as both a civic infrastructure project and a revenue-generating asset, while the Montana ranches function as hospitality businesses and conservation vehicles. Philanthropy is structurally separated through the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, a signatory of The Giving Pledge. Blank holds a membership at Augusta National Golf Club, a relationship that has facilitated philanthropic collaborations around the Masters Tournament. AMB Group's differentiation lies in its hybrid nature: it is not a pure capital allocator but an operating company where the founder's own interests — football, soccer, golf, and the American West — are the investment thesis. The office does not market itself to external investors, placing it among the more personal, hands-on single-family offices in the United States.

Frequently asked questions
How is AMB Group structured in relation to the Blank Family of Businesses?
AMB Group serves as the umbrella entity for Arthur Blank's entire portfolio. The Blank Family of Businesses is the commonly used external brand for this collection, shown on LinkedIn, which encompasses the sports franchises, hospitality properties, and other operating assets. All assets trace back to Blank as the sole owner and chairman.
Does AMB Group function more like a family office or an operating company?
It operates as a hybrid. While it retains the structure of a single-family office, the vast majority of its known holdings are actively managed operating businesses, particularly the NFL and MLS teams. This differentiates it from offices that primarily allocate to third-party funds or manage a portfolio of passive investments.
What is the origin of the wealth managed by AMB Group?
The wealth originates from Arthur M. Blank's co-founding of The Home Depot in 1978 with Bernard Marcus. Blank served as the company's president and later as its CEO, building it into the world's largest home-improvement retailer before retiring from the company to focus on his family office and philanthropic ventures.
Does AMB Group have a philanthropic arm?
Yes. The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation is structurally separate from the operating businesses. Both Arthur Blank and the foundation are signatories of The Giving Pledge, committing half of his wealth to charitable causes, with significant initiatives linked to his membership at Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament.
What is AMB Group's investment focus beyond its core operating assets?
There is no public record of a defined third-party investment or venture capital strategy. The known assets are closely held operating businesses in sports, hospitality, and land management. The absence of publicized fund commitments or direct startup investments suggests the office operates as a holding company for Blank's personal assets rather than a traditional institutional allocator.
Is there any connection between AMB Group and Tiger Woods?
Arthur Blank and Tiger Woods are co-investors and partners in TGL's Atlanta Drive GC, a technology-driven golf league. Their relationship also extends to philanthropic collaborations, leveraging their mutual ties to the sport.
