About Me
The son of a grocer, Ron Burkle started working at the market at age 13. He formed investment firm Yucaipa in 1986 and bagged big returns buying and selling supermarket chains Fred Meyer, Jurgensen's, Ralphs and others. Burkle primarily invests in private companies that support the food trade, in areas like logistics, cold storage and food safety. He has invested in tech firms including Airbnb, Uber and Foursquare, failed movie production firm Relativity Media, and the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins. In 2026, Burkle and other investors took members-only swanky hotel chain Soho House private. The company delisted from the NYSE that January.
