Former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner has completed his takeover of League One Portsmouth.
Eisner, 75, and his Tornante investment group offered Β£5.67m to buy 100% of the club and will invest an extra Β£10m.
"My family and I are thrilled to take on this incredible responsibility as stewards of a football club with such a rich heritage," Eisner said.
The Pompey Supporters Trust previously owned 48.5% of the club's shares with the rest shared among 16 'presidents'.
Eisner, whose net worth is estimated at $1 billion, and his three sons, Breck, Eric and Anders, will make up the club's board along with Andy Redman, president of Tornante, and Portsmouth chief executive Mark Catlin.
