Marc Roberts began his sports and entertainment career at age 19 as the youngest person to promote a professional boxing match – a distinction he holds to this day. By the age of 21, he had his first World Champion, Donald “the Cobra” Curry, and was working closely with legendary boxing trainer and manager Emanuel Steward. He went on to manage two Heavyweight World Champions, Ray Mercer and Shannon Briggs, as well many other World Champions. By his 28th birthday, Mr. Roberts had taken his first Sports Management Company, Triple Threat Enterprises (symbol: TTT) public on the National NASDAQ market. He was the first person ever to take a sports management company public. In his mid-30’s, he took a second company public, Worldwide Entertainment & Sports Corporation (symbol: WWES), which managed NBA and NFL players, NASCAR drivers and world championship boxers and was the first full‐service sports management company ever to be listed on the national NASDAQ. The combined raise for both highly successful public companies was in excess of $100 million.
While in his 20’s, although heavily immersed and enjoying success in the sports and entertainment industry, Mr. Roberts developed an interest in real estate and started investing in small projects. In 1999, after selling his sports and entertainment company, Mr. Roberts decided to focus on real estate with the same intensity he previously directed to sports management. At that time, he moved to Florida and concentrated on residential real estate opportunities. A short few years later, Mr. Roberts had completed over $2 billion in condominium conversion projects around the country and was a partner in one of the top three condominium conversion companies in the United States. Mr. Roberts' other investments have included oceanfront properties in Florida (Singer Island, Fort Lauderdale and South Beach), several intracoastal properties in Palm Beach County and a 32‐story residential building, called the Metropolitan, on the upper east side of New York.
On the heels of this success, Mr. Roberts turned his attention to assembling commercial properties in a prime location in the Park West district of Miami by Co‐Founding Miami Worldcenter, the largest mixed use project currently in development in the United States. In a short time, Marc Roberts Companies became a real estate investment and development firm with a diverse portfolio and upward of $2 billion in investments.
Today, the Roberts family portfolio includes over 10 acres of property in the Park West district and in District 11, an exciting new area of Miami adjacent to Miami Worldcenter and Park West, and across from the Kaseya Stadium where the Miami Heat play. This key property assemblage has the best location for investment in Miami: it is directly accessible from an offramp for the newly redesigned $800M +Signature Bridge, contiguous to Miami Worldcenter, offers convenient access to the Brightline Train Station, is surrounded by over $15B in new and completed development projects and perfectly positioned for future development.
In addition to this once in a lifetime assemblage, under Mr. Roberts’ management, the Roberts family portfolio is the co‐owner and co-founder of Club E11even in Miami, a world‐renowned, one‐of‐a‐kind 24‐ hour unique nightlife experience, and the property on which Club E11even sits. Just across the street from Club E11even, Mr. Roberts, together with his partners Michael Simkins and Dennis DeGori and in a partnership with PMG, is developing two 65 story towers, the E11EVEN Club Hotel & Residences and E11EVEN Club Beyond, with first class amenities and what will become the hottest pool deck in the world. In February of 2023, a third tower neighboring the E11EVEN projects was announced by PMG, Simkins and Roberts. West Eleventh Residences is a 44 story tower with 649 condominium units, and is a collaboration with Airbnb, allowing short term rental flexibility managed by Airbnb. Record-breaking sales on these three projects exceeded $1.5B in just over a year.
Roberts is a truly diverse entrepreneur with a wide variety of interests and talents. He is the author of the widely acclaimed 1998 book “Roberts Rules!: Success Secrets from America’s Most Trusted Sports Agent,” and is currently working on an autobiography. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Mr. Roberts is noted for his charitable contributions.

In 2005, Mr. Roberts was honored by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, (the Florida Chapter) by being named Man of the Year. In 2006, Mr. Roberts sponsored the Maccabi Youth Games for Metro-West New Jersey and in 2007 Mr. Roberts was awarded the distinction of being admitted into the New Jersey Jewish Hall of Fame.
