Iger, Kushner Team Up to Acquire Lakers in Multibillion Dollar Deal
Former Disney CEO Bob Iger has joined forces with Josh Kushner to purchase the Los Angeles Lakers in a reported multibillion dollar deal. The transaction is expected to put Iger and Kushner in control of the team, according to sources.
Iger led the Walt Disney Company for years before stepping down in 2022. He has since been involved in various business ventures and philanthropic efforts. Kushner, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, has also made significant investments in the tech and sports industries.
The sale of the Lakers marks a major shift in the ownership structure of the team. Mark Walter, who acquired the Dodgers in 2012, is reportedly involved in the deal as well.
