(just check the red)
"Late Thursday night, the Financial Times reportedthat Apple AAPL -0.73% was in talks to buy Beats for $3.2 billion; the deal would be the computer giant’s largest acquisition ever. Dre’s stake in Beats currently stands at somewhere around 20-25%; we valued the company at $2 billion in our latest round of estimates.
A sale for $3.2 billion would nearly double the value of Dre’s holdings, though capital gains taxes could take a bite out of his big payday, likely leaving him with a net worth in the neighborhood of $800 million. It’s not quite enough to land on the Forbes 400, but it would easily make him hip-hop’s richest man, topping current champion Diddy by $100 million."
I'm just gone go based off what this genius said in the
red...
We all know Dre's Net Worth if Beats didn't exist would be $150 million right now (he had $125mil in 2011 before beats popped off... And would've been making money off Em / Kendrick)
His CURRENT Net worth (according to Forbes) is
$550million.
So that means he has $400million in beats stock (as far as how they are calculating.)
If they valued the company at $2billion when they said dre has $400mil stock, that means if it sells for $3.2 billion, to come up with how much Dre will make is Simple:
You multiply $400million by 1.625 (2.0 would be DOUBLE)
$400mil x 1.625 = $650 million (if apple was buying for $4 Billion, it'd be $800 milion, for you slow ones)
$650 million after 23.8% capital gains / medicare tax =
$495 million
$495million + the $150mil he had BEFORE beats by dre =
$645 mil
