source ↗Research gaps: The session ran out of web searches while researching Tepper, so real estate (Palm Beach, Hamptons and NYC purchases) could not be sourced and was left out. The public financing terms of the stadium renovation with the city of Charlotte were not verified. Personal CIK 0001181531 is on EDGAR, but its filings are old (2003-2016). The 13F status of Appaloosa Management LP (CIK 0001006438) was not confirmed. The Q2 2026 13F holdings come from a secondary 13F tracker, not the raw EDGAR table.
