Mike Brown is an attorney and a very smart money man. I believe he bought out the other nonfamily members ownership in the early 2000's or when he was in his 60's. I have a strong hunch he has a great estate plan and Katie and his son Mike already own a huge portion of the team. My guess is they each own at least 24.5% or 49% combined.

If so, then the value of the Bengals has already been transferred by almost 50% and Mike Brown's net worth had been almost cut in half. I good estate attorney has been planning the transfer for probably 30 years. I am not concerned.
