Thornton McEnery of the New York Post is reporting that Hollywood realtor to the stars Kurt Rappaport is leading a bid to purchase the New York Mets. Rappaport is known for his real estate work in the Hollywood Hills. He’s sold homes to celebrities like Ryan Seacrest, Ellen Degeneres, and Tom Cruise. Making big money sales like that tends to create connections.
Rappaport intends to put those connections to use. He’s the latest bidder in the race to purchase the Mets and he could put together a sizable offer despite his low net worth.
