(CBSNewYork)- There have been reports of a “mystery bidder” for the New York Mets circling around the sale process for the last few weeks. Now, according to a report from the New York Post, we know that bidder to be Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.
According to the report, Adelson and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners aren’t bidding on the team on their own, rather they are joining the group led by Josh Harris and David Blitzer in pursuit of buying the team.
The 86-year-old Adelson, who is the founder, chariman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands corporation, is worth a reported $30 billion.
