How we make moneyReported · August 14, 2026
Bloomberg Law reported that Google was named the winning bidder, at $10 million, for de-identified business data from defunct Spirit Airlines in an August 2026 bankruptcy auction, with Mercor's $7.5 million offer named the backup bid; the sale still required bankruptcy-court approval.

Forbes reported in April 2026 that wind-down firm SimpleClosure had processed nearly 100 data deals for defunct companies in the prior year, typically paying $10,000 to $100,000 per company, and that rival Sunset buys at similar prices that depend on a company's size, age and 'data richness.'
