Sir Paul Marshall Set to Acquire The Spectator for £100 Million

The hedge fund tycoon and GB News backer is finalizing the purchase amid separate bids for the Telegraph Media Group.

  • Sir Paul Marshall is in exclusive talks to buy The Spectator magazine for nearly £100 million.
  • The deal is expected to conclude by the end of the week, pending final legal details.
  • Marshall is also among the potential buyers for the Telegraph Media Group, currently in the second round of bidding.
  • The UK government forced the sale due to new legislation blocking foreign ownership of UK newspaper assets.
  • RedBird IMI, the current owner, acquired The Spectator and Telegraph titles from the Barclay family last year.
