Bezos's chosen newspaper CEO, Sir Will Lewis, faced a newsroom revolt due to his radical attempts to stem losses at the Washington Post. The Financial Times reported that the news organization suffered losses of $77 million last year.

Jeff Bezos was outbid for the Washington Commanders by billionaire Josh Harris, co-founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management6. Harris' group reportedly offered $6.05 billion for the NFL team, which was higher than Bezos' bid.

The final bid amount that won the Washington Commanders was $6.05 billion, led by Josh Harris and including Magic Johnson. This was a record-breaking amount for a North American professional sports club.
