>>6051835Tony's a big enough mark to sell half of everything he inherits and collateralize the rest to buy WWE. My assumption is that McMahon wants 10 billion minimum, but the reality is that not a single corporation thinks WWE is worth half of that. Even if it was, none of them want to actually own and operate a wrestling company.
Shad Khan's estimated worth is around 9 billion. Sell half your stakes, and that's 3.5 billion post tax in cash. Finance the other 6.5 billion with 2.5 billion in cheap collat financing and another 4 billion in regular debt from multiple banks.
The numbers work.
