Jeff Bezos Tops List Of Famous New Potential Phoenix Suns Owners

After Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was suspended for a year, with a $10 million fine, due to a racism, sexism, and sexual harassment scandal, the NBA world decided in unison, that the punishment wasn’t enough.

So with a lot of pressure from within the NBA, its front office and its players, Sarver decided that it was in everyone’s best interest to sell the Suns and Mercury franchises.

But who could be a potential new owner of the franchise(s)? Well, at the top of the list are some well known names, that are headlined by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Other big names with reported interest in taking over the franchise are Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, Laurene Powell Jobs (Apple) and Bob Iger (Disney).

Last year, Forbes had valued the Suns at $1.8-billion, but the asking price will reportedly be in the $3 to $4 billion range – a price tag that is more than affordable of any of the names in consideration.
