The prices are astronomical nowadays.
I remember Howard Hughes wanting to buy ABC.
There were 4.7 million shares outstanding selling at about $60/share before his offer.

Wiki-—— Billionaire Khosla hosted Barack Obama for a fundraising dinner in 2013, and Joe Biden in 2024 at his home in Portola Valley. Khosla endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Khosla was a major proponent of the “Yes on 87” campaign to pass California’s Proposition 87, The Clean Energy Initiative, which failed to pass in November 2006.
With the withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election, Khosla called for the Democratic Party to hold an open convention for its nominee. He stated that it was “hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me” ....... referencing Donald Trump.
Khosla pledged his support for Kamala Harris in July 2024 and joined “VCs for Kamala”, a group of more than 100 tech investors and entrepreneurs signatories for Harris.
