Tucker Carlson, the individual worth $100 million.
In an open letter posted on Twitter, Patrick Bet-David, CEO of Valuetainment, painted this image when he offered Carlson a job.
“Dear Tucker, I’ll get right to the point. We want you to partner with us in what we feel is a noble and necessary effort to define the future of media,” the letter to Carlson began.
“Here’s our offer: $100M over 5 years. An equity stake in Valuetainment. President of Valuetainment and a board seat to project your strategic vision and voice. Your own podcast(s) and other daily/weekly shows. Documentaries and movies covering topics you care about.”

However, that was not all.
“What else? We are all ears. Our convictions about freedom, liberty, and truth run deep and we believe we are the absolute right fit for you and America. While we may not be the biggest media company, we are a new media leader driving into the future to make truth, fair debate, and commentary more accessible, consumable, and protected,” the offer read.
Bet-David concluded, “We are 100% serious about our offer.”
During an appearance on Megyn Kelly’s podcast on Tuesday, Bet-David explained the reasoning behind the $100 million offer.
“I believe Tucker’s voice is one of the most necessary voices in America,” he said, adding, “the world needs to hear that voice.”
Other media companies making offers to Carlson, according to Bet-David, are larger but not superior.
“We may not be the biggest … but if you want to team up with somebody that’s got the vision in place, the cause in place, and [is] a true believer on how great of a country America is that is worth fighting for — and the fight is a real fight because the enemy is real — we feel we’re the right fit to partner with somebody like Tucker Carlson.”
