What professional sports team is worth the most money?

Question

Is it the Yankees? The Dallas Cowboys? Manchester United? Please include links that support your answer.

Answer 1

The U.S. Olympic Basketball Team

(the "redeem team")

It's common knowledge that commercial endorsements

are the biggest factor in determining the net worth

and what bigger world prestige is there than being

world champions?

I just don't understand why the olympics lets pro players

participate in basketball but not other events.

Answer 2

dallas cowboys

Answer 3

According to Forbes, the teams of the NFL are the most prosperous in US sports. The Dallas Cowboys are currently the most valuable sports team in the world, worth $1.5 billion ( http://www.forbes.com/2007/09/13/nfl-tea... ) ! The most valuable team in the NBA is the Knicks, which are worth an estimated $600 million ( http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys... ). Manchester United is speculated to be worth about $1.8 billion!

EDIT: Well, technically yes, Man United is worth $1.8 billion, but that's in American dollars. In British pounds, that's about 970 million pounds. So if you're going by the weight of individual currencies the Cowboys are worth the most, but if you're going to convert from GBP to USD then yes, Man United is the most valuable.

Answer 4

That would be the Dallas Cowboys =)
