Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are technically the main owners of the team based on day to day business and overall ownership decisions. There is also an additional investment group that does not make ownership decisions, but are merely investing in the team. I believe the minimum investment amount to get in the investment group when Lemieux took over the reins was an investment of 1 million or more. I don't believe any additional investers are currently being accepted.
