On “60 Minutes,” author Michael Lewis has a lot of revelations about disgraced financier Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX.
Lewis says Anna Wintour called Bankman-Fried to underwrite the Met Ball even though “he’s the worst dressed person in America” and had no idea who she was.
The author also claims FTX paid Larry David $10 million for those awful commercials that played in the Super Bowl two years ago.
He paid Tom Brady $55 million for 20 hours a year for three years. He paid Steph Curry $35 million for– same thing for three years.
Lewis says: “He spent 100 and something million dollars, buying the naming rights for the Miami Heat arena…For which he then paid Larry David another $10 million, you know. It’s breathtaking, what’s on that list.”
The interview with Lewis will be up soon, and I’ll put it here. Lewis says he also thought of paying Donald Trump not to run for president again. The price would have been $5 billion.
Here’s the link to the transcript.
Lewis’s book, “Going Infinite,” will be published this week.
