" the transaction value is $4.05 billion, with Disney paying approximately half of the consideration in cash and issuing approximately 40 million shares at closing."

Half of it is cash, that is $2.025B. Represents an a pretty healthy chunk of cash on top of the $2B in Disney stock. It will be interesting to see what he does next.

Hopefully he invests in immortality research. The trend of billionaires dying without even trying to engineer a solution is retarded.

He should start with focus ultrasound. It allows to grow/shrink any part of the body and so essentially reach immortality.

There's that carbonite process he looked into a long time ago.

Have you heard of Satanism ? Look it up. Has to do with this .. achieving immortality .. and sucking blood (energy) out of other people.

Oh yeah, it's real, black magic hasn't gone anywhere. Where do you think the ritual sacrifices would have disappeared ?

Actually, most Satanism has nothing to do with that.
