They say when you are worth 109 Billion everything is for sale. I would say that is true unless it is owned by another billionaire that doesn't need the money.

btw one day's interest on 109 billion at 5% is $15 million.

doubt it be the worst thing to have happen...he is going to try to move the team to Sacramento or something. Though it could spark PC retiring


guess we should expect him to get a team at some point
The Post reported that other NFL owners “are keen’’ to have Bezos buy a team, whether it’s the Seahawks or another franchise, and quoted New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft as saying, “I’m sure that eventually it would be in everyone’s best interests if someone that’s as community-oriented as him gets involved in the Seattle situation.’’

I was surprised at the hate for him. I don't have strong feelings about him one way or another but check out the replies here:

I guess they are thinking his is another Howard but that is absurd since he could buy Howard's wife and kids with his couch change.

well he just tried to buy the Seattle election and failed, think that pissed some people off. There is a lot conflicted feelings towards Amazon with its growth, how Bezos tries to wield power

Gates was pretty cutthroat in the early days in creating a monopoly with the operating systems and Allen wanted the tax payers to pay for much of the Clink but Bezos is definitely on another level. Amazon just kicked of a Healthcare data marketplace where companies can by patient data. My new company might sell their data on it.
