Tucker Carlson will probably end up making more money and having more control than when he was on Fox News.
Especially if he accepts a monster offer from Valuetainment CEO Patrick Bet-David to join his company.
Bet-David offered Tucker $100 million over five years and several additional perks in a tweet published shortly ago.
Here is the full proposal:
Dear Tucker,

Essentially, Tucker can basically have whatever he wants on top of the $100 million over five years.
That is what one calls a Godfather offer: literally one you cannot refuse.
Megyn Kelly confirmed the offer is real and that Bet-David first broke the news on her show earlier today.

Tucker fans weighed in whether he should take the offer:
I mean, if Tucker doesn’t want it, I’d be willing to sit with Patrick and hammer out a few details. I’m good like that…

The offer is good unless he has to bring the box of chocolate to Romania, I heard that could be tricky.
