Bob Iger and Josh Kushner purchase the Los Angeles Lakers for record $12.5 billion
The transaction values the franchise at a record $12.5 billion, marking a significant shift in NBA ownership. While initial reports suggested a record $12 billion sale to former Disney CEO Bob Iger and venture capitalist Josh Kushner, subsequent details confirmed a $12.5 billion valuation. The deal represents one of the most expensive sports team acquisitions in history. Recent analysis suggests that Iger's specific ownership stake may have been overstated in early media coverage. While he remains a central figure in the acquisition, the extent of his future control over the franchise has been clarified as less than a majority role.
