"Just purchased NBC's half of the Miss Universe Organization
and settled all lawsuits against them. Now own 100% - stay
tuned!," the billionaire property developer said in a tweet.
No financial details were given.
The Miss Universe Organization, which also runs the "Miss USA"
pageant, was a joint venture between Trump and Comcast Corp's
NBCUniversal.
NBCUniversal cut ties with Trump and the "Miss Universe" and
"Miss USA" pageants in June after the real estate magnate and TV
personality said that some Mexican immigrants are rapists and
killers.
Spanish-language Univision [UVN.UL] had earlier refused to air
the Miss USA pageant and severed ties with the Miss Universe
Organization, prompting Trump to sue the company.
Trump is scheduled to appear on Jimmy Fallon's late-night talk
show on NBC later on Friday.
