- Disney is buying Fox's film studio and a large chunk of its television production assets $4.
- Bankers orchestrating the megadeal could earn more than $150 million.
After months of intrigue and rumors, Disney announced Thursday it has a deal to $4, the latest in a $4 in the back half of the year.
Bankers representing the two media conglomerates are set to earn another giant payday of as much as $155 million in deal fees, according to Jeffrey Nassof, director of consulting firm Freeman & Co.
JPMorgan and Guggenheim Partners will split $60 million to $70 million for representing Disney on the deal, while Centerview Partners, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs will split $70 million to $85 million for advising Fox.
Goldman Sachs will earn another $15 million to $25 million for arranging the $9 billion bridge loan on the deal.
It's shaping up to be a very lucrative month for dealmakers at Goldman Sachs and Centerview Partners. The two firms also advised on opposite sides of the $4 - a transaction that could produce $4 when it's all said and done.
