Guess Who Else Got A Payday From Apple’s Beats By Dre Buyout?


Earlier today we posted about how Dr Dre is now hip hop’s first billionaire after Beats By Dre, the company he co-founded, got bought up by Apple for $3.2 billion. But did you know there’s an Australian connection? And it’s The Bondi Brawler AKA Packer Whacker AKA street fightin’ man James “I break your fuckin teeth if you park outside me house m8” Packer? It is!

Turns out Jamie invested up to $160 million in the headphone company, which means he should be able to pay off the $500 fine he copped for his fisticuffs. In fact, he could pay it off 320,000 times if wanted, and still be left with a healthy dividend! Hot crackers, what a deal!
Unfortunately we can’t bring you any photos of Packer and Dre hanging out together and shooting the headphone-related shit, but here’s a sloppy photoshop of the two hanging out before enjoying Aronofsky’s Noah:
You’re SO welcome!
