What Is The Largest Sports Team Sale In History? [9RiujyDsYUI]
The Los Angeles Lakers have been in the Buss family since 1979, when real estate mogul Jerry Buss bought the franchise for $67.5 million. After his death in 2013, his daughter Jeanie Buss became the controlling owner and has served as team governor ever since. In 2025, the Buss family agreed to sell a majority stake in the Lakers to billionaire Mark Walter under a deal valuing the franchise at $10 billion, breaking all records for a professional sports team valuation. Jeanie Buss will remain the team governor and retain at least a 15% ownership stake. This deal marks the end of nearly five decades of full Buss family control. #nba #business #lakers #losangeles #dodgers #sports #investment #ownership #sale #lebronjames #lukadoncic #austinreeves #basketball #shorts #shortsviral #economics
