Jeff Bezos is reportedly interested in acquiring ownership of the Celtics

Bill Simmons has recently suggested that Jeff Bezos, the world’s second-wealthiest man, may make a bid to purchase the Boston Celtics. Bezos, the former Amazon CEO, has a net worth of $204.3 billion and may be interested in acquiring the defending champions.

This comes after the team’s current owners, the Grousbeck family, announced their decision to sell their majority stake in the franchise. The Boston Celtics are valued at $4.7 billion, making them the fourth-most valuable team in the league.

Simmons’ suggestion has sparked interest from fans, as Bezos’ potential ownership could impact other potential buyers, including LeBron James, who is part of the Fenway Sports Group interested in bidding for the team.
