I thought it might be useful to have all the news about what John Malone is getting up to in one place.
Firstly, a profile of him is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Malone
But if you can't be bothered to read all that, in essence he is a telecoms engineer and a master of business who built up what was the largest US cable company in the 80s and 90s before selling it making him billions.
He's now rebuilding his former US cable empire while also owning a controlling stake in the company that owns Virgin Media. He also owns more land in America then any other individual.
I will update this thread with any news about him or his companies when I can.
Here's a useful diagram of his interests, but take note that it is slightly out of date as Charter has now merged with fellow cablecos Bright House and Time Warner Cable since the publication of this diagram which will give Malone around a 20% share of the merged entity and make him the largest shareholder:
