How we checked this
Checked on September 24, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article confirms the second lease is a 15-year lease. It never states that lease's own value; the figure can only be inferred by subtracting the approximate first-lease value from the combined total.
Confirmed in the source:
- The second Beacon Point lease is a 15-year lease
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The second Beacon Point lease has a base-term value of $9.8 billion (the article gives only the combined $19.6 billion and the first lease's approximate $9.8 billion, not a stated value for the second lease)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
