LUNDON MICHAEL BELL

The Investor Behind the Game. Founder of Blaq Co. & Paper Palms™

Born in Minnesota, raised in Atlanta, and battle-tested in arenas from Vegas to LA, Lundon Bell built his brand the hard way—from the kitchen to the capital markets. With 15 years as a private chef to pro teams like the Raiders, Dodgers, Timberwolves, and NASCAR, Bell didn’t just serve champions—he studied the systems behind their success.

He later became the first African–Native American Night Auditor at T-Mobile Arena, mastering financial operations at the heart of Vegas entertainment under the MGM Grand legacy.

In fashion, he helped launch Ed Hardy retail stores, nightclubs, and co-branded spirits under the late icon Christian Audigier—blending streetwear, luxury, and culture before it became the wave.

Today, as founder of Blaq Co. and Paper Palms™, Bell flips the script:

“If I can’t own the team, I’ll own the system that keeps the lights on.” - Lundon Bell

Instead of chasing headlines, he invests in the infrastructure—stadium builders, concessions giants, media rights, ticketing tech, and security, the industries powering global sports and entertainment.

With positions in companies like AECOM, Aramark, Compass Group, DraftKings, Nike, Vanguard, Tesla, BlackRock, and Uber, Bell isn’t theorizing. He’s lived it, cooked in it, audited it, branded it and now, he’s building a digital and print platform to help other entrepreneurs carve out their own seat at the table while opening up a unstoppable independent marketing pipeline.

As sports, media, and luxury marketing converge, Lundon Bell is the streetwise investor already inside the game and now setting the table for the next generation of power players.
