That's not an accurate net worth for him.  He's a billionaire.  He owns the Weather Channel and recently settled a lawsuit with Comcast and Charter Communications.  That net worth reading of 450 is likely old.  He will likely be a majority owner with no need for a group.


A bunch of articles are out about him today and they all cite that number.

He purchased the weather channel 3 years ago for $300 mil. It hasn’t doubled in worth in that time.

The number itself is still old.  I can remember that number (or somewhere around it) on his net worth from 4-5 years ago.  If you look at Entertainment Studios, it's total assets are worth over a billion.  Add in the the assets of the Weather Channel and its safe to say Byron is well over the threshold.  He put up the 300 million cash in hand to purchase the Weather Channel.

For some reason, Allen has been able to hide his true wealth from the public media, or they for some other reason they don't want to report him as being a billionaire.

 and co-owns FoxSports. 

co-purchased 21 Regional Fox Sport networks and Fox College Sports. They've since been rebranded in 2021 as Bally Sports since the Fox name wasn't part of the deal.

Doesn't mean your point isn't valid about being able to use the network in some fashion, even as a minority owner of them.

You guys do realize you don’t need cash on hand to buy a team?  Byron can just take out a loan.  I bet you NFL can even give him private loan (LA stadium) if approved by the owners.

Kroenke purchased Arsenal for $2B with zero cash.  He took out low interest loan and made the team pay it off over 10 years.  So he basically purchased $2B team for free.

The rich/elite qualify for completely different perks most of us regular folks do.  They do not need cash on hand to make money and make big purchases.

You have the ability to borrow against your assets too, they just have much better assets 😂

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
