According to several published reports, the deal is estimated to raise U.S. $2.9 Billion.

Volvo was purchased by the Ford Motor Company back in January 1999 for $6.5 billion.   However, after the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, Ford sold off several assets including its ownership of Volvo.

In 2010, the Chinese firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (ZGH) purchased Volvo from Ford for $1.8 Billion.  That marked a huge loss for Ford in the roughly 11 year period it had ownership of the Volvo brand.  However, a $2.9 Billion valuation would mark a $1.1 billion increase in value in the last 11 years since Geely purchased the Volvo brand.
