According to a source familiar with the matter, The Washington Post is reportedly considered for sale. However, according to several media reports, a spokesperson for Bezos has stated that The Washington Post is not for sale.
Washington: Amazon's owner Jeff Bezos is considered one of the richest people in the world. Now, there is a big news related to him. According to the New York Post, Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos may sell the Washington Post, an American newspaper, to buy the football team Washington Commanders.
According to a source familiar with the matter, The Washington Post is reportedly considered for sale. However, according to several media reports, a spokesperson for Bezos has stated that The Washington Post is not for sale.
According to a spokesperson for the journal, it has also been stated that the newspaper is not for sale. In particular, Bezos had purchased The Washington Post for $250 million in 2013. The New York Post reported that Bezos is attempting to clear the path to acquire the Washington Commanders from its owner, Dan Snyder.
The Commanders have won three Super Bowls in 1983, 1988, and 1992, securing the Lombardi Trophy. Reports suggest that Bezos is facing difficulties as the team's embattled owner, Dan Snyder, is reportedly unhappy with the exposure of a toxic management culture within the team, including allegations of sexual harassment against Snyder and other executives.
The Commanders had explicitly accepted previous rounds of bidding last week before potential buyers, but it is said that Bezos was not among them. Bezos has publicly stated that owning a newspaper was never his goal. To ensure financial stability and boost online expansion, he purchased it from its former owner, Donald.
Furthermore, Bezos has repeatedly claimed that football is his favorite sport but has not publicly stated whether he would want to join the National Football League (NFL) with a team of his own or not.
If Bezos bids for the team, it will be a challenging moment for Snyder. Indeed, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the wealthiest people in the world, revealed in November his plans to eventually use a significant portion of his fortune, which amounts to billions of dollars. In an interview with the American broadcaster CNN, the billionaire stated that he is working on a plan to donate the majority of his wealth for philanthropic purposes over the course of his lifetime.
