Charlie Ergen's fortune has soared to $13 billion after selling $40 billion worth of wireless spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX. The transactions will resolve FCC complaints and assuage creditors. EchoStar shares have risen fivefold, and Ergen's company will now operate Boost Mobile with AT&T as its primary network partner. The deals will fund EchoStar's operations, invest in growth initiatives, and retire debt. The company will also have access to Starlink's space-based telecom services.
