Here, we study the stellar, Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) and intracluster medium (ICM) masses of 14 South Pole Telescope (SPT) selected galaxy clusters with median redshift z = 0.9 and median mass M500 = 6 x 1014M. We estimate stellar masses for each cluster and BCG using six photometric bands spanning the range from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared observed with the VLT, HST and Spitzer. The ICM masses are derived from Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations, and the virial masses are derived from the SPT Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect signature. At z = 0.9 the BCG mass M*BCG constitutes 0.12 ± 0.01% of the halo mass for a 6 x 1014M cluster, and this fraction falls as M500-0.58±0.007. The cluster stellar mass function has a characteristic mass M0 = 1011.0±0.1M, and the number of galaxies per unit mass in clusters is larger than in the field by a factor 1.65 ± 0.2. Both results are consistent with measurements on group scales and at lower redshift.
