Ironman
The Hawaii Triathlon Corporation developed the Ironman competition. Dr. James P. Gills paid $3 million for it in 1990. It has since grown into a much larger corporation. In 2008, Providence Equity Securities paid $85 million to the company. Seven years later, the Dalian Wanda Group paid $650 million for it! According to rumors, in order to consummate the sale, the Chinese company was compelled to accept a portion of the prior owner’s debt. Wanda was happy with the 40% year-over-year net growth, despite the company being previously profitable before its current form.

Forbes
In September of that year, Forbes released its debut issue. Isn’t it amazing that 103 years have passed since then? Since it has earned a reputation as a reliable source of credible celebrity and business rankings. The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women and 30 Under 30 are two well-known lists to consider as a starting point for your research. While many people believe it is an American journal, it is really owned by Integrated Whale Media Investments of Hong Kong. In 2014, it paid $400 million to Forbes. However, we feel that readers have not seen any differences since the deal was struck, both before and after.
