00:01Time for the TMZ SAT!

00:04Question 1.

00:05If the LA Lakers are worth $10 billion

00:07and majority owners Jeannie Buss and her family

00:09sell a bunch of their steak, what has she earned?

00:12And the answer is...

00:13Money!

00:15What do you want? We're not math people.

00:17Jeannie Buss is selling her steak,

00:20her family's steak, in the Los Angeles Lakers.

00:24$10 billion!

00:25Yeah, so that's the valuation.

00:26Yes, that's what the Lakers are worth.

00:28And since Jeannie sold a good chunk of her family's steak,

00:31she's coming into some serious cabbage.

00:34But the Buss family ain't out of the picture.

00:36They're definitely going to retain some ownership.

00:38It's unclear how much.

00:39And Jeannie is going to run the team,

00:40at least for the next few years.

00:42So she's going to be very much still involved.

00:44So who bought the Buss family's steak?

00:46So it's a guy who already owns part of the Lakers,

00:48Mark Walter.

00:49He also owns a big chunk of the Dodgers.

00:52The guy that owned the Dodgers now owns the Lakers?

00:55He owns both.

00:56Wow, maybe they'll play against each other

00:59in the World Series Finals.

01:01Just because that's not a thing yet,

01:03don't mean it can't happen.

01:04Point is, Jeannie and her family are going to make

01:06some serious simoleons.

01:08Does that all hit your account at one time?

01:10No, they're not.

01:11No.

01:12No, does it?

01:13Like, do you open up your app and it's just like,

01:14oh my God, $10 billion?

01:16Okay, first of all, she's not getting $10 billion.

01:18And secondly, it'd probably come in the form of a novelty check.

01:21So, what's the takeaway from the big Lakers sale?

01:24Jay Moore hit the lottery!

01:28Hey, Jay won the lottery when he married Jeannie Buss

01:31because of love!

01:33But money is also good too,

01:35because it can be exchanged for goods and services.

01:37Congrats, Jeannie!
