Bio
Mark is a principal of Garden Homes, his family’s real estate firm, which is one of the largest real estate developers in the United States.
Mark is deeply committed to the importance of philanthropic giving. He serves as a trustee of the Wilf Family Foundations and on numerous charitable and educational boards and committees, including as a trustee of NYU School of Law and as a member of Princeton’s President’s Advisory Council. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of JFNA (Jewish Federations of North America) and has chaired its national initiative to raise funds for the social welfare of Holocaust survivors living in the U.S.
As the son of Holocaust survivors, Elizabeth and Joseph Wilf, he has drawn upon his parents’ experiences to become an unwavering advocate for needs of the Jewish people, wherever they may be. The Wilf family, a major and longtime supporter of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, is the largest contributor to its world-renowned Holocaust History Museum. The Wilfs are also key benefactors of Yeshiva University in New York where the main campus has been renamed as the Wilf Campus of Yeshiva University.
Mark earned his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, where he served as the radio voice of Princeton Tigers football and basketball. He later graduated from the New York University School of Law before becoming a principal in the family business.
Entering his 16th season of ownership, Minnesota Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf has led a transformation of the entire organization and has dedicated his focus to four primary areas: building a team that consistently competes for championships, providing the best in class fan experience, positively impacting the Minneapolis-St. Paul community and growing the game of football. Most recently, he led two of the most significant initiatives in the team's history with the completion of U.S. Bank Stadium and the successful bid to bring Super Bowl LII to Minnesota, creating a lasting impact on the community and the state.
