That's just Dan Friedkin's personal wealth isn't it?

We're being bought by the Friedkin Group which has Gross Turnover of around $11bn every single year. Not sure what sort of profit they are making as a group, but it will be substantial.
Considering his personal wealth has increased 75% in the last 12 months according to Forbes I would imagine TFG must be pretty profitable as I assume that's where most of his wealth comes from.
 
A successful Roma would cost less to achieve and be worth far more in the long run than a successful Everton.
Roma’s fan base is far larger and has far greater reach than ours, which gives them more potential for financial reward, and that is all the TFG are interested in.
Hopefully they will run each club separately and allocate funds fairly.

What?

We play in the biggest and most watched league in the world. How has roma got a larger reach then us?

Roma play in a capital city but so do crystal palace. You say roma has this massive fan base but im not sure they do. Their more lazio then ac Milan. I very rarely see people in roma tops, see more people in Fiorentina top tbh.

You seem to think roma are a milan, inter or juve level but their no where near. They've won the league 3 times in their whole existence. There essentially west ham.

Ive got nothing against roma and I'm looking forward to having a loose affiliation with them because of this takeover. It feels like youre making them out to be some European power house and there just not.
 

I do wonder about front of shirt sponsorship and Toyota. Whilst I appreciate that TFG don't own Toyota, they generated circa $11bn of revenue last year from their Gulf States Toyota business alone. I suppose Toyota could be one of our major sponsors moving forward but ultimately the money could come from Gulf States Toyota i.e TFG.
 
What’s the TFG group value

Probably the same about $7.5bn
Good question, its very hard to value private companies because we dont know what actual profits are. They are listed by Forbes as 44th on the largest private companies list. Maybe an example is 43rd is SC Johnson, who also almost identical revenues. The Johnson family has a networth of 37 billion, owning 3 companies, but the other two companies only have a combined 800m in revenue. If you ASSUMED a lot, you could come up with the Johnson family is worth 3x their companies total revenue. A 2x multiple might be more realistic because they probably have other personal investments...

TFG owns 30WEST which worked on Tiger King, they also own Imperative Entertainment which is making a film at the moment called A Big Bold Beautiful journey starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell and is being produced by Dan and Ryan Friedkin and they also own Neon which worked on the film Parasite which won the Oscar for best film

There’s definitely going to be a film or a tv series made about Everton once they become our owners
