These Are the 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams in the World

#30: Cleveland Browns

I’ve never been to Cleveland and never thought about visiting Cleveland. In fact, I don’t even know one good thing about Cleveland or if there is one good thing about it to know. However, I do know that the Cleveland Browns is a formidable side and well deserves a place in the top 50.

Having changed hands quite recently, the Browns were already generating quite a bit of cash with their last purchase, earning previous owners the Lerner family a respectable $987 million. But in the 11 years since that value has more than quadrupled. While the current owners, the Haslams, are definitely millionaires already, if they were to sell today, they would become billionaires overnight.
