It has already been reported that at the beginning of July, the owners of “Celtics” started the process of selling the team. “Boston Basketball Partners LLC” plans to sell most of its shares in 2024 or early 2025. On the other hand, it is planned to sell all the shares of the club by 2028.
Simmons reports that Amazon founder Bezos is currently interested in buying the Celtics. His worth is estimated at just under $200 billion, which would make him the richest owner of an NBA club.
Also, one of the current co-owners of “Celtics”, Steve Paljuk, previously indicated that he is ready to participate in the purchase of the club’s shares.
In June, the “Celtics” became the NBA champion, defeating the Dallas “Mavericks” in the final series with 4-1.
“Boston Basketball Partners LCC”, led by equity investor Vic Grousbeck, his father and investor Irwin Grousbeck, along with venture capital investor Paljuk, purchased the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million from the Gaston family. The Gastons previously owned the team since 1983.
Under the leadership of the current owners, “Celtics” also won their previous championship title in 2008.
