Potential bidders for the Washington Commanders believe Amazon founder Jeff Bezos would be the front-runner to buy the franchise, but the groups are vying to be “the next-leading option” if the billionaire opts to not pursue the team or sets a firm limit on what he is willing to spend, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reported Thursday that prospective groups believe Bezos’ net worth makes the Commanders “his for the taking” because he would likely be able to outbid all other potential buyers. Forbes estimates Bezos’ net worth at $120.5 billion, making him the fourth-richest person in the world.
