In 2017, three years into his retirement, Jeter was part of an ownership group that bought the Miami Marlins, and he was named the team's CEO. Derek served as CEO for five years from 2017 to 2022.

• Derek and a group of partners, including Bruce Sherman, completed a $1.2 billion deal to buy the Miami Marlins in August 2017. Jeter paid $25 million for a 4% stake in the organization at a discounted rate. Unfortunately, the team's value had fallen to $990 million by 2021. Derek's 4% ownership was worth $40 million at the time. Though still a profit on his $25 million investment, it was hardly a promising indicator for the future. Derek ended his association with the Marlins in late February 2022, selling his 4% stake back to his partners, while the Marlins had the lowest club worth in the league.
