• Broncos' sale price would be the highest ever for an America sports team. With a price tag of $4.5 billion, the sale of the Broncos would smash the American record for most money ever paid for a sports team in the U.S. The record is currently held by the Nets, who sold for $2.35 billion in August 2019. The Broncos selling price would also double the price of the most expensive NFL team ever sold, which came in 2018 when David Tepper bought the Carolina Panthers for $2.275 billion. 
• Walton will become the richest owner in the NFL. According to Forbes, Walton has a net worth of $59.6 billion, which makes him one of the 20 richest people in the WORLD. Once the purchase is finalized, not only would Walton instantly become the NFL's richest owner, but he'd have a higher net worth than the NFL's six richest owners COMBINED. Panthers owner David Tepper currently has the highest net worth in the NFL at $16.7 billion. 
• One Walmart heir is already indirectly involved with NFL ownership. Rob Walton's cousin, Ann Walton Kroenke, is the husband of Rams owner Stan Kroenke. If you're wondering about the family tree there, Rob is the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton, who is Ann's uncle. Ann's father, Bud, was Sam's brother and a co-founder of Walmart. 

The 77-year-old Walton will be buying the team from the Pat Bowlen trust. Bowlen originally purchased the team back in 1984 for just $78 million. From 1984 until his death in 2019, Bowlen oversaw one of the most successful franchises in the NFL as the Broncos went to seven Super Bowls, winning three of them, under his watch. Bowlen died in 2019, and his trust has been running the organization ever since. After his death three years ago, there was constant speculation that the team would eventually be put up for sale, but that didn't officially happen until February of this year.

Always thought that if I won the lottery--the big lottery--I'd buy the Vikings. How much fun would that be? I guess I have to buy a lottery ticket first. I'm about 4.49 billion short.

The TV/streaming media contracts have made the NFL franchises incredibly valuable assets. The ability to ala carte, segment and position the content for sale (Thursday night, Sunday night, Monday night, Thanksgiving, etc.) continues to add value.

And once they realize how much more money they can make by making every game available for purchase ala carte? I think Amazon is the right model here, not Netflix.
