Marc Roberts (born September 20, 1959) is an American entrepreneur, real estate developer and businessman. He is the first person to take a sports management company public in the United States.
Roberts was born in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in nearby West Orange. [1] Roberts "got into the agent business" at the age of 19 while attending American University in Washington, D.C., where he played on the university's basketball team. [2] Roberts's teammate, Russell Bowers, was the nation's leading scorer, and Roberts became his agent against his coach's orders.

[6] In 1988, Roberts, then aged 28, signed three new boxers, including Ray Mercer and Shannon Briggs. [7] In 1990, Roberts took his sports management company, Triple Threat Enterprises, public on NASDAQ. [8] Roberts later founded Worldwide Entertainment & Sports Corporation, which became the first "full–service sports management company" to go public on NASDAQ. [5]
Roberts developed an interest in real estate and started investing in small projects. In 2000, he moved to Florida where he concentrated on residential real estate. A short few years later, Roberts had completed over $1 billion in condominium conversion projects around the country and was a partner in Sunvest, a condominium conversion company. Roberts'other investments include oceanfront properties in Florida (Singer Island, Fort Lauderdale, South Beach, several intracoastal properties in Palm Beach County) and a 32‐story residential building, called the Metropolitan, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

The Florida land boom of the 1920s was Florida's first real estate bubble. This pioneering era of Florida land speculation lasted from 1924 to 1926 and attracted investors from all over the nation. The land boom left behind entirely new, planned developments incorporated into towns and cities. Major investors and speculators such as Carl G. Fisher also left behind a new history of racially deed restricted properties that segregated cities for decades. Among those cities at the center of this bubble were Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Springs, Opa-locka, Miami Shores, and Hollywood. It also left behind the remains of failed development projects such as Aladdin City, Boca Raton, Chevelier, Fulford-by-the-Sea, Interocean City, Isola di Lolando, Okeelanta, Palm Beach Ocean, Poinciana, and Sun City. The land boom shaped Florida's future for decades and created entire new cities out of the Everglades land that remain today. The story includes many parallels to the real estate boom of the 2000s, including the forces of outside speculators, easy credit access for buyers, and rapidly appreciating property values, ending in a financial collapse that ruined thousands of investors and property owners, and crippled the local economy for years thereafter.
