But....”the Clippers” is a business, which can be evaluated, not just on a “what the last NBA team sold for” basis but as a generic widget business, albeit, certainly with a lot more flash than a moving & storage company, for example.
I have no more idea than the man in the moon whether the prior estimate of $5xx million was valid or if $2 bn is valid, but my wonderment is why and how such a discrepancy could exist.
Right now today, there is reasonable agreement that a share of AAPL is $635. EVEN IF you wanted to and could buy the company, these things typically occur at a 20-30% premium. OK, a 50% premium. OK, a 75% premium.
Where does this 350% premium discrepancy come from?
