Edward Phillip Roski, Jr. (born December 25, 1938) is an American real estate businessman in Los Angeles, California. He is the President and Chairman of the Board for Majestic Realty Co.
Roski was born to a poor, immigrant Polish family in Oklahoma and raised in Southern California. He is a graduate of Loyola High School and the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, where in 1962 he earned a BS degree with emphasis on finance and real estate. He is also a Vietnam veteran and a United States Marine and served as an officer of the Marines from 1962 to 1966. While attending the University of Southern California he was a member of the Gamma Tau Chapter of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. In 1994, Roski was awarded the Oxford Cup, the highest honor a brother of Beta Theta Pi can receive.
Roski was behind an attempt to build a stadium in Industry, California to attract a NFL team until the Rams returned with a stadium project of their own. He has been suggested to be the developer of a NFL stadium in Las Vegas to be occupied by the relocated Oakland Raiders and UNLV Rebels Football NCAA team. Roski is a minority owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and half-owner, with Phillip Anschutz, of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. Roski has also been cited in local newspapers as the owner of Silverton Las Vegas (formerly known as Boomtown Las Vegas) in Enterprise, Nevada and in 2001 made a substantial offer to buy the former Las Vegas Hilton.
