RM is at 3rd position and Barca at 4th. Barca is losing money and RM is making a bucketfull.

4 | Barcelona (Soccer)

  • Value: $4.02 billion
  • 1-Year % Change: -1%
  • Owners: Club members
  • Operating Income: -$37 million


3 | Real Madrid (Soccer)

  • Value: $4.24 billion
  • 1-Year % Change: 4%
  • Owners: Club members
  • Operating Income: $112 million

25 of top-50 are NFL teams. Tons of NBA teams and some soccer teams.

Interesting fact is that in 2012 the top team was Manchester United with 1billion$ value, and this year you would not make the list if you were worth 2billion$. The valuation is right as Clippers and Nets were sold above 2billion$ few years back.

Discuss.
