Robin Roberts, the host of ABC’s Good Morning America, has been such a high profile fan of the New York Liberty that when championship rings were handed out back in May, she wound up with one.

Now, per an announcement Tuesday from Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, she’ll have more than ring. She’s one of three new investors in the team, along with Olivia Sterns Walton of the Wal-Mart Waltons, America’s richest family and Amy Griffin, a leading woman venture capitalist and best-selling author.

The three women will join other equity investors anchored by Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba with Joe Tsai as well as six other women with both professional sports and investment backgrounds: Karen Finerman, Thasunda Brown Duckett, Karlie Kloss, Gabrielle Rubenstein, and Samantha Lasry. Those investments were announced back in May. All nine investors will share in the same stake, described by Bloomberg as being in the “mid-teens.” In return, the group put up an undisclosed cash infusion. Ma, one of China’s richest entrepreneurs with a net worth of close to $50 billion, appears to be the lead investor in the group.

The cash will be used, according to the team, in the construction of the team’s $80 million, 75,000-square-foot training complex in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, scheduled to open in 2027. It’s this investment that vaulted the Liberty to a valuation of $450 million, the most ever for a professional women’s sports franchis….
