The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, a record-breaking price, multiple sources told ESPN.

The businessmen were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but in a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year for a then-record franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion.

现老板去年才按 $10B 买进，今年就按 $12.5B 卖出了，太爽了。

Joshua Kushner 85年生，是 Jared Kushner 的弟弟。

Billionaire Mark Walter’s firm is in talks with investors to raise money to help pay down loans on the books of its insurers that had drawn scrutiny from the Justice Department, according to people familiar with the matter.

TWG Global has approached multiple investment firms, including Steve Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management, about a range of deals to raise cash, said the people, who asked not to be identified describing private discussions. The firm has been working on plans to address concerns about the outsized loans Walter’s insurers have made to other parts of his investment empire, and those efforts have ramped up in recent days, said some of the people.
