Reaction full of hustle, creepy or to show the DEA, it’s up to you, but it’s hard to take away Steve Ballmer’s natural enthusiasm. The rest of the ranking? In 2nd place, Rob Walton Denver Broncos (NFL) with an estimated fortune of $56.7 billion. A huge difference of 26.3 billion dollars with the seat of Ballmer, which – barring unforeseen “huge inheritance” type from an owner – will quietly scrape its 9th and 10th consecutive years at the top of this ranking. David Tepper Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC closes the podium with an estimated fortune of $18.5 billion. Here too the difference – of 38.2 billion dollars – is staggering. Then follow Robert PearSteve Cohen of the New York Mets (MLB), Daniel Gilbert, Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), the multi-owner Stanley Kroenke Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal Football Club, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids, then Stephen Ross of Miami Dolphins (NFL) and Shahid Khan of Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL) and Fulham Football Club .
