Born in Rochester, New York, in 1960, Avram 'Avie' Glazer is an American businessman, a co-owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL), and the Co-Chairman of Manchester United (English Premier League). He is the son of the late Malcolm Glazer, who built his fortune in real estate and acquired both major sports franchises.

Avram's early life was focused on business administration and law. He was recognized early for his commercial acumen, being named the Junior Achievement Outstanding Young Businessman of the Year in 1978. He went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) from Washington University in St. Louis and a Juris Doctor (J.D. Law degree) from American University. This education in finance and law prepared him for the complex financial management and high-stakes negotiation required to run global sports and corporate assets.

Avram Glazer’s career began in high-level corporate management. From 1995 to 2009, he served as the Chairman and CEO of Zapata Corporation, an energy company originally founded by President George H.W. Bush. He also held top executive positions at other family-controlled companies, including Safety Components International and Omega Protein Corporation, providing him with a strong executive track record outside of sports.

The defining element of his career is his stewardship of the family’s twin sports franchises. The family acquired the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL) in 1995, where Avram is a co-owner. His most high-profile role began in 2005 when the family acquired a majority stake in Manchester United. Avram serves as the Executive Co-Chairman, a role that has seen the club win numerous major titles, including the Champions League (2008) and five Premier League titles, while also navigating major financial and fan controversies related to the leveraged buyout. His leadership is key to the Glazer family's continued control over one of the world's most popular sports teams.

Avram Glazer’s philanthropy is primarily centered on youth, education, and community welfare in the regions hosting his sports teams. The Glazer family helped fund the Glazer Children's Museum in Tampa, Florida, a major contribution to local community and education.

Through both the Buccaneers and Manchester United, the family supports various community and educational foundations, using the high-profile platform of professional sports to drive positive social change. His commitment to managing both American football and global soccer operations represents a unique civic and commercial contribution to two of the world’s most dominant sporting cultures.

Avram Glazer maintains the sleek, professional style of a modern American sports owner. His attire is consistently tailored and formal, favoring dark business suits or high-end sports-team apparel for game days. His aesthetic is one of confident, high-stakes finance, suitable for both the NFL owners' meetings and the global executive environment of a publicly traded football club.

His lifestyle is centered in the U.S. and often involves high-profile travel between Tampa and Manchester. His luxury is the vast, public influence that comes from owning two of the world's most valuable sports teams, particularly Manchester United, a brand with over a billion global fans. His wealth is a testament to the profitable convergence of media, sports, and corporate finance.
