A year of uncertainty surrounding Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore-owned Minnesota Timberwolves is finally reaching its conclusion, and to all A-Rod fans, it’s on a positive note. After struggling to match an initial 7% stake in the franchise, Marc Lore held up A-Rod’s end of the bargain and bought an additional 3%.

Today, as a result, Marc Lore owns a 13% stake in the Western Conference’s Minnesota Timberwolves. A-Rod, on the other hand, holds 7%. As time passed, people questioned A-Rod’s ability to continue purchasing regular stakes in the sports franchise.

Notably, the duo has the option to purchase an additional 20% of the franchise before the end of 2022. And while experts doubted A-Rod’s ability to collect this sum, things have worked out for the ex-Yankees World Champion.

A happy year-end for Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore

Now, as reported by Sportico, the last few months that A-Rod and Marc Lore have spent raising funds for their December 31st deadline, have successfully transformed into a success. And along with private equity firms, individual investors, and family offices, the Sportico report suggests that the two opulent entrepreneurs have almost collected $1.5 billion.

A-Rod and Lore made an initial down payment for the franchise in 2021 for 20% of the franchise. The following investment is due at the end of 2022, for another 20%. By the end of 2023, A-Rod and Lore are likely to purchase an additional 40%, before the final 20% at the end of 2023.
