Life is sweet for billionaire Nick Candy as Audioboom bid war hots up: Sony enters fray for podcasting firm - leaving tycoon in line for windfall
The pandemic has battered the fortunes of some of Britain's wealthiest tycoons – but life looks sweet again for Nick Candy as a bidding war for a podcast firm he backs gathered steam this weekend. The property billionaire holds a 15 per cent stake in Audioboom, which he says is 'on steroids' following the pandemic. The business, which turned its first profit last year, has attracted takeover interest from Amazon and Spotify, as well as Swedish podcast firm Acast and Virgin Media O2 owner Liberty Global.
