Glen Allen Taylor (born April 20, 1941) is an American billionaire business magnate and politician from Minnesota.

Taylor made his fortune from being the founder and owner of Minnesota-based Taylor Corporation, one of the largest graphic communication companies in the United States.

Taylor was the majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association and the owner of the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association pending a sale of both franchises set to close in 2024.

He remains part owner of the Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer.

1959

1975

In 1975, company owner Bill Carlson wanted to retire, and Taylor offered to pay $2 million over the course of 12 years for the company.

He considered himself a member of the party's moderate wing.

1990

In 2023, his net worth was reported by Forbes to be $2.8 billion.

Taylor was born in Springfield, Minnesota, and grew up on a farm in Comfrey, Minnesota.

He resigned in 1990 citing his need to focus more on his business interests.

He strongly considered running for Governor of Minnesota in 1990, but he decided against it due to his divorce.
