The asking price for the franchise is mentioned to be around $6 billion, around $2 billion more than Matt Ishbia paid for the Phoenix Suns.
Celtics current owner, H. Irving Grousbeck, bought the franchise during the 2002-03 season for then-record $360 million. The franchise is now reportedly worth over $5 billion.
Bezos is the founder and owner of Amazon, the largest retailer in the world. Bezos' net worth is estimated to be around a whopping $195 billion.
