Valuation is 12.5 B for 100 %. Walter owned roughly 85 % of Lakers according to ChatGPT. 27 % he bought earlier and the rest in 2025. If I simplify that his whole 85 % were bought at 10 B valuation, his profit would be 2.125 B before taxes. Since he actually bought 27 % earlier at much lower valuation, his actual profit before taxes will be even much higher.
It took a bit over 4 months between the first announcement of Walters deal and actual formalization on 30th of October 2025.
