And as you're revealing the extent to which one of the best investments they made, Affinity Partners, was with Phoenix Financial, an Israeli financial conglomerate.
I
31:03Ian MastersHOST
And Affinity bought 4.95% of Phoenix in July of 2024 for about 128.5 million, and that was obviously Saudi money.

31:14Ian MastersHOST
And in early 20-2025, it doubled its position to almost 10%, making Affinity Phoenix's largest shareholder.
I
31:21Ian MastersHOST
And then the investment was so lucrative that in July of 2026, Affinity sold roughly one-quarter of its position for more than $340 million, a stunning return five times its original investment in those shares, and it retained a 7.4 stake, currently valued at about one billion and remains its largest shareholder.
