The Los Angeles Lakers just sold again, this time for a record-breaking $12.5 BILLION. The biggest sports sale in HISTORY.
Bob Iger, the former Disney CEO who led the company for nearly two decades, and Josh Kushner, the 41-year-old billionaire founder of Thrive Capital. Although both men are longtime Democrats, Kushner’s family ties tell a different story: his brother Jared is married to Ivanka Trump, and his father Charles — pardoned by Trump in 2020 on fraud and tax evasion charges — now serves as U.S. ambassador to France and Monaco.
The seller? Dodgers owner Mark Walter…who is currently under federal investigation for fraud. Bought the Lakers 10 months ago. Selling now with a $2.5B profit. The sale still requires NBA board approval.
