About Me

Lynn Schusterman's husband Charles Schusterman founded Samson Resources in 1971 and grew it until his death from leukemia in 2000. Lynn and Charles' daughter Stacy became co-CEO of Samson Resources in 1999 and the sole CEO in 2005. Under Stacy Schusterman's leadership, the family sold most of the company's assets to a KKR-led group for $7.2 billion in 2011. Lynn Schusterman held onto some oil and gas assets, which are part of Samson Energy, chaired by her daughter Stacy. Of the Samson proceeds, $2.3 billion went to Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, which works to promote equity in the U.S. and strengthen the state of Israel.
