YOOOOOOO


it made sense for apple to buy them.
Beats is basically the apple of the music industry for headphones.
Now they took over music nikka.

If he sold 51% to HTC, how much he got left?

100% with Jimmy Iovine , HTC sold their stake back to them last September. So Dr.Dre, Jimmy and whoever else is invested in Beats is pretty much gonna pocket $3.2 billion if this goes through

HTC is selling back the remainder of its stake in Beats Electronics, shedding its financial ties to the headphones vendor in a partnership that did little to help turn the smartphone maker's fortunes around.

HTC on Friday said it would sell off its 25 percent skate for $265 million, according to a Taiwan stock exchange filing. In addition, the company will receive $150 million and accrued interest from Beats at a later date as part of a promissory note. The deal will close in the fourth quarter.
