Former MLB commissioner Peter Ueberroth’s daughter tells court trustee misused millions

[Special thanks to Matthew Bogin, (Esq., Bogin Law) for bringing this article to my attention.]

Vicki Ueberroth Booth, daughter of former Major League Baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, has gone to court in Southern California to gain control of her family’s trust, claiming millions of dollars have been wasted or misused over the last two years while Peter and his wife Virginia are in cognitive decline.

Peter Ueberroth, now 88, spearheaded the first privately run Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, a commercialization effort that helped revitalize the Games. Later that year, he took the lead job at MLB, which he held until 1989.

But as Ueberoth and his wife, 86, have seen their health decline in recent years, their daughter says they’ve been exploited by a family friend, attorney Michael McKee, who took over as trustee of the family’s trust in April 2024. McKee, 80, is also the chairman of Tiger Woods’ charity, the TGR Foundation.

“Rather than acting as a neutral fiduciary, McKee repeatedly subordinated the interests of the trustors and beneficiaries to those of third parties, including himself, in direct violation of his statutory duties,” Ueberroth Booth, 63, contends in the filing in California Superior Court. “This disregard for fiduciary responsibility was compounded by McKee’s persistent concealment of material information.”

The petition asks for McKee to be ousted as trustee in favor of Ueberroth Booth, to turn over certain records and to pay back money for alleged breaches of trust.
