      He purchased the team for $800 million in 1999, about $1.5 billion in today’s money. He sold for over $6 billion. So he was fined $60 million after everything? That’s a rounding error when we’re talking about that type of money.

        I tried a shot at the math, $60MM looks to be about 1.9% of what he sold the team for. Talk about a very light tap on the wrist haha! I mean a JR Bacon Cheeseburger and some petrol might be 1.9% for me. These people are wealthier beyond belief.
