KKR & Co. Inc.
On June 12, 2019, KKR announced a voluntary takeover offer from Axel Springer SE, which the company rated 6.8 billion euros. In 2020, KKR bought the majority at Axel Springer Verlag and received the approval of taking the stock off the stock exchange (→ delisting). KKR formed a consortium with Friede Springer and Mathias Döpfner. According to the offer documents, the existence of the World Group was linked to the achievement of economic goals, which led to speculation about cost savings and job cuts. In addition to the world, the Axel Springer Verlag includes the Bild-Zeitung, Bild.de, Bild am Sonntag, Sport Bild, N24 Doku, Business Insider and Travelbook.
In September 2024, Axel Springer SE announced the decision to split the company structure into a family-run media company on the one hand and the "Classified" business (classified ads) on the other.
The future media company (consisting of the BILD group, Business Insider, Politico, World Group, Idealo, Bonial, Morning Brew, Dyn Media, Emarketer and the Joint Venture Ringier Axel Springer Poland) is said to be in possession of Friede Springer and Mathias Döpfner, the remaining shares retained Axel Springer, a grandson of the company's founder.
The "Classifieds" business (The Stepstone Group, Aviv, Finance.net, Awin) is intended to become an independent joint venture in which KKR and CPP Investments are involved in the majority shareholders, the Axel Springer SE CO minority shareholder and the grandchildren of Axel Springer.

Die Welt
The world was a foundation of the British military government and was published for the first time on April 2, 1946 at the price of 20 pfennigs. The concept of the newspaper was to separate facts sharply from comments, in the editorials there were opposing points of view. Under the editor-in-chief, the SPD member and former inmates of the Bergen-Belsen Rudolf Küstermeier concentration camp since spring 1946, the sheet collided several times with the British occupation authorities who wanted to use the world as a PR organ.
In 1952 "Die Welt" was sold to Axel Springer for two million DM.
