- The Ellison Trust is providing a $45.7 billion equity commitment, and Larry Ellison is guaranteeing such commitment, including an obligation to contribute additional equity funding to Paramount to the extent needed to support the solvency certificate required by Paramount's lending banks, and
- Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi and Apollo are providing a $57.5 billion debt commitment.
Wow $111 billion for Warner Bros. It's probably worth it considering all you get but where did Skydance/Paramount get the $$$?

Is he personally buying it? PSKY market cap is $15B, making a $100B purchase is a pretty big ask

Paramount was already carrying a lot of debt. It'll be almost $100b in debt after this transaction

No. There is a large chunk (25%) from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar sovereign wealth funds.
