Thats $2 billion with an uppercase B!
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has apparently won the bidding war Thursday for the Los Angeles Clippers with a staggering $2 billion offer for the NBA franchise, according to the L.A. Times.
The frenzied battle to get the team from Sterling drove the franchises price sky high for a team that Forbes estimated was worth at $575 million in January of 2014.
New York Daily News used the B word. They must pay!
Down boy. I’m a guy and you are probably worth more than I. The neighbourhood is nice but the city I live in (Toronto) has an overheated real estate market fueled by a number of factors that makes it out there in pricewise. I think the sale price for the Clippers is nuts too.
