WWE Sale Update – WWE Seeking Around $9 Billion for Sale Price

As noted before, WWE is currently in the process of potentially selling the company to a new owner that could take place as early as within the next three months.

Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw reported that their sources stated that WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon is currently seeking around $9 billion for a potential sale of his company. It was reported that WWE has a current market value of $6.5 billion.

In regards to potential buyers, Shaw reported that WWE already has “a couple acquisition offers” on the table but “sources have expressed skepticism that many traditional media companies will buy the WWE.” Shaw also reported that UFC parent company Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were both “definitely” interested parties.

In terms of net worth from potential bidders, Shaw reported that Endeavor has a current net worth of $10.4 billion and would need outside financial help for a potential purchase of WWE. Saudi’s Public Investment Fund has a current net worth of $620 billion and would not require the need of any outside financial help for a potential purchase.
