That's a lot of zeros.

You've probably seen it, the legendary basketball franchise of the Los Angeles Lakers is going to be sold for 10 billion dollars in the coming days.

This is an opportunity to reveal the ranking of the biggest club buyouts, across all sports. You'll see, football is not in a strong position.

10. Brooklyn Nets (NBA) – 2.35 billion dollars.

9. New York Mets (MLB) – 2.4 billion dollars.

8. Charlotte Hornets (NBA) – 3 billion dollars.

7. Dallas Mavericks (NBA) – 3.5 billion dollars.

6. Phoenix Mercury & Suns (WNBA & NBA) – 4 billion dollars

5. Denver Broncos (NFL) – 4.65 billion dollars.

4. Chelsea FC (Football) - 5.2 billion dollars.

3. Washington Commanders (NFL) – 6.05 billion dollars

2. Boston Celtics (NBA) - 6.1 billion dollars

1. Los Angeles Lakers - 10 billion dollars

As you can see, this ranking is dominated by American sports and only one football club has managed to make it into the top 10.

In fact, there are only three football clubs that have exceeded one billion dollars in sales to date. Chelsea, then Manchester United, where 25% of the shares were sold to Jim Ratcliffe in exchange for 1.6 billion dollars and finally AC Milan with its sale at 1.2 billion dollars.
