BuzzFeed Sells 'Hot Ones' to Soros Fund for $82.5 Million

BuzzFeed has sold its production company First We Feast, which owns the popular "Hot Ones" show, to a fund controlled by George Soros for $83 million. This sale helps BuzzFeed pay off a significant portion of its $124 million debt, reducing it to $30 million. The deal allows BuzzFeed to focus on its remaining businesses, including BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, and Tasty, while First We Feast will operate independently. Soros' acquisition adds to his growing media investments, and the move also diminishes potential influence from investor Vivek Ramaswamy.
