It was surpassed by the sale of the NFL's Denver Broncos for $4.65 billion to Rob Walton. Having bought Twitter for around $44 billion, Musk's personal wealth is said to have plummeted over the past year due to the poor performance of Tesla stock, but he is still estimated to be worth nearly $190 billion.

He is one of the few to go public with his interest in buying the Old Trafford club. Such an arrangement would be deeply unpopular with fans, who want to see the Glazer family relinquish their hold on the club entirely. The "Nine Two" name would appear to be a reference to Man United's famed class of 1992 players, including David Beckham. However, it's easy to understand the appeal. Kylian Mbappe has already been linked with the club. There has been reported interested from a U.S. Three other reported prospective bidders have yet to announce that they've officially submitted offers for the club. Those interested in buying United were given a soft deadline to confirm their plans by Friday, February 17. It was the first time they had publicly countenanced selling the club that they took over in a highly controversial leveraged buyout nearly 20 years ago.
