Fox then, naturally, the topic extends to how much money Simon has now.
6 billion dollars, which is a well-known authoritative figure published by Forbes rich list.
However, this is already the data for August last year.
And now?
With such a topic, "the Wall Street Journal" on February 23, the day after Simon's birthday, suddenly exposed a full year financial report of danilisi entertainment last year.
Although it has to pay a lot of huge expenses for the expansion of the company, because too many successful projects in the past two years have continued to provide huge revenue for the company, which has been established for only three years, the net profit of dannilis entertainment last year reached a staggering $531 million.
It's a really amazing number.
In the past year, although the financial reports of many enterprises in the United States have not yet been published, according to the data of previous years, the profit scale of more than 500 million US dollars is enough to make Denise entertainment into the top 50 of the corporate profit rankings in the United States.
Moreover, compared with the seniority of danielis entertainment, all other companies with the same level of profits have been operating at the giant level for decades.
Like Motorola.
As of last September's fiscal year, Motorola's annual net profit was only US $490 million, which is the best financial report in recent years.
At the same time, with the late operation of several projects last year, especially Batman: the moment of war, many media have predicted that the profit scale of daenerys entertainment is likely to double this year. If so, it will undoubtedly be more terrifying.
You know, daenerys entertainment is 100% owned by Simon westero.
Not to mention this year, just according to last year's profit scale of $531 million and the most conservative P / E ratio of 10 times, compared with last year's $3 billion valuation made by Forbes on Denise entertainment, the rapidly rising Hollywood film company's market value this year is enough to exceed $5 billion.
Not counting all of Simon westero's other assets, just this one is almost enough for him to maintain his position as the richest man in the Federation.
Some people not only ask, is Denise entertainment really worth five billion dollars?
Film has always been a high-risk business. It may be very good in recent years, but it may be in a downturn in the next few years.
However, as soon as this question was raised, it met with the most solid refutation.
Marvel!
Yes, Marvel Entertainment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Denise entertainment.
The success of Batman: the moment of war is expected to bring us $1 billion in profits to all parties concerned. This is just the beginning of DC movie universe.
With the success of the first song and the recent announcement of a huge plan for more than 10 films, under the personal control of Simon westero, even if he can't achieve the opening result of Batman: the moment of war, he can easily surpass most of the projects in Hollywood.
What's more, the biggest advantage of DC movie universe project is sustainability.
This means that Denise entertainment and Time Warner no longer have to bear the strong uncertainty of box office prospects every time they operate traditional film projects.
As a result, anyone with a little foresight can undoubtedly see the potential of marvel, which is completely owned by Denise entertainment alone, outside the DC movie universe plan.
Warner Bros. planned to sell the DC for tens of millions of dollars a few years ago. Now, it's just the success of Batman: the moment of war. Steve Ross won't agree to sell the DC even if it costs one billion dollars. Even more, any one of DC's popular superheroes may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Well, marvel, which also owns a large number of superhero copyrights, is undoubtedly a super gold mine.
Only this point is enough to support the value of danilisi's entertainment.
As a commercial operation of the media society, there are concerns, there are people to dig news.
After the Wall Street Journal's attention to danielis Entertainment's annual financial report, another financial magazine fortune suddenly exposed another piece of information, which directly ignited the public opinion: Simon westrow's overseas asset data registered with the IRS.
