The CEOs, founders, and billionaires spotted at the World Cup final

The 2026 World Cup final attracted more than football fans.

Billionaires, CEOs, founders, and celebrities descended on New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Sunday, as Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to lift the trophy.

Their presence reflected a broader theme of this year’s tournament.

This year’s World Cup has become FIFA’s most commercialized and expensive yet, with Category 1 tickets costing as much as $10,990 in the April open sale, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino traveling roughly 70,000 miles aboard a Qatar Executive private jet to attend 44 matches across North America.

Here are some of the biggest names from the business world who turned up for the final.
