Bezos Spent $500 Million On A Yacht, How Much Could It Cost Him To Buy CNBC? - Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA)

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Jeff Bezos aims to strengthen his media holdings by acquiring CNBC amid Washington Post turmoil that led to over 300,000 subscription cancellations, sources say.

  • Jeff Bezos is weighing a possible acquisition of CNBC, as the network prepares to spin off into Versant later this year.
  • Amid months of turmoil at the Washington Post, Bezos’s search for stability prompted a pivot toward centrist, pro-business themes in its opinion section.
  • A source close to the transition notes Versant intends to grow CNBC rather than sell it, while regulations prohibit major asset sales for two years.
  • Known for programs like Squawk Box and Mad Money, CNBC could bolster his media credibility, according to The New York Post, while insiders describe CNBC as a `neutral voice` in his media portfolio.
  • This interest signals a broader ambition to reshape his media empire and gain a foothold in business journalism, and he is also eyeing the Seattle Seahawks, set to hit the market soon.
