If TB's investment in BHA goes down the pan, the poor bloke will be down to his last £900M.
You can see why he is panicking.

POOR effort. You really can't post as bhadebenhams, but then go on to rehash yet another ERNEST rant.
For PITY'S sake man, stay in CHARACTER!
The only possible thing to take from that, is that people talk a lot of shit, and it's best ignored.

I think El Presidente said rated at £250 million on Albion Unlimited.

£250m value, really, I'd say considerably more than that:
Stadium, plus Academy, plus squad, plus Premier league status

Likewise - don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what he has done for the club but I also recognise that he didn’t do it for me!
It annoys me when I see in threads the suggestion that he has subsidised the cost of my ticket via his investment in the club, I could equally claim that I have subsidised his hobby by buying a ticket - neither statement is correct.

I think people's admiration for him is where would we be without his money, as fun as it may have been Withdean wasn't sustainable for Brighton as a football club and without his injection of cash we could've slowly drifted down the leagues and into non-league obscurity.
I believe you can tell The Sunday Times to do one.
Otherwise a man who has spent £300,000,000 of his pocket money on one project, would be listed for that alone.
I guess TB would be very much in a minority of billionaires when it comes to showing off his wealth

Agreed, if you think that most of his wealth is possibly tied up in shares and property this isn't a petty cash investment for him!
All that - less debt!

Its none of my business what TB wealth sits at, I am and will always be eternally grateful for his investment and having him as chairman.
All we know is he has chucked around 300M the way of the club he and we love.
And although the recent decision re Chris H would have been a tough one, I fully back it now its happened.
I would have loved however to have been able to thank Chris H for the job he did in his 4 and a half years with us.

All I know is he's richer then me
If I had a quarter of all my assets wrapped up in a football club, the remaining three-quarters would just about be enough to live on, assuming no surprise bills.
On the other hand, Tony's remaining three-quarters...

That's the problem with your info. How do you only 'think' they were an ex director at the Albion? Surely this would have been critical to the mythical conversation you had with this person as it would have been the whole context of said conversation.

Agreed, did that is the earlier response which led to this comment.
Sorry - missed that.
So, including taking on the debt, you think the Albion is worth considerably more than £250m?

It's strange though how people are almost dismissive of his significant investment because he has additional wealth, he still didn't need to spend it on BHAFC.

I guess it depends on who owns the stadium and the academy, I'd imagine IF Sir Tony decided to put the club up for sale, nearly new stadium, nearly new Academy (with additional land and development opportunities), squad, Premier League status and football operating profits (TV rights mainly), I'd guess he'd get a lot more than £550m, i.e. debt repaid plus £250m in cash, but who knows, it's whatever people are prepared to pay and what their reason for purchase is.
I’m not a football finance expert (that’s [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION], of course), but I would honestly be gobsmacked if the Albion would go for £550m. On a “normal” industry basis it’s worth less than half that... imo.
