And, you know, George Gillette, who I think was in meat packing and meat packing and ski resorts, I think, but a hell of a businessman who recognized an opportunity.
Chris StevensonHOST
And when you think about it, he bought, what was it, I think it was then the Molson Center.
Chris StevensonHOST
He bought the Molson Center and the 24-time Stanley Cup champions for basically what it cost to build the Molson Center.
Chris StevensonHOST
So he got, he got the real estate, and they threw the team in as a bonus.
Chris StevensonHOST
I mean, that, that showed you, um, how ridiculous it was in, in, uh, the early 2000s in terms of the value of, of franchises.
Chris StevensonHOST
And, uh, of course, he ended up, I think he paid 120 something million, and, and five years later, six years later, flipped them to, uh, to the Molson family, back to Geoff Molson, for I think 500 million.
Chris StevensonHOST
So he made himself a nice little, uh, a nice little profit on that.
Chris StevensonHOST
