In 2025, Konstantin Sokolov, MBA ’05 (XP-74), announced a $100 million gift to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The school’s Executive MBA Program was subsequently renamed the Sokolov Executive MBA Program.
The university’s announcement does not specify the source of the $100 million — whether cash, stock, Amazon gift cards, or a pledge payable over time.
A video published by the school invites viewers to learn how Sokolov’s Booth experience led to his “extraordinary investment.”
