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 😂

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
