6. Golden State Warriors – $1.9 billion
Golden State Warriors might have won the championship for four times so far, but the latest one was the first in 40 years. With such success, it should come as no surprise that one of its players, Stephen Curry, is the current NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP).
For two seasons in a row, the home tickets for the team’s every game were sold out. Plus, there are more than 10,000 people on waiting list to get their hands on the season ticket.
With $201 million of revenue and $57.6 million of operating income those are just icing on the cake. Even 13% of debt will not ruin the party.
Joe Lacob and Peter Guber are the owners of Golden State Warriors. They bought it for a staggering $450 million in 2010. Well, it seems to be a good investment decision now considering its $1.9 billion value.
