Media Mogul Interested in Purchasing WWE?
According to The New York Post, there is “a strong rumor” that media tycoon John de Mol, whose net worth is estimated to be $2.2 billion, is interested in buying WWE if Vince McMahon ever decided to sell.
Mol’s company, Talpa Beheer, acquired a 6% stake in WWE last year, and a spokesperson for Talpa Beheer declined to comment to The Post. WWE, however, issued the following statement:
“WWE, controlled by founder and Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon through Class B shares, isn’t in any discussions about a potential sale.”
