How can you own two of the most valuable sports teams (plus Fenway and Anfield) and only be worth $2.2 billion?

Mmm

I don't know though.

Dude probably has another couple billion in offshore accounts

debt

Idk he's sunk a shitton of money into the red sox over the years.

Not sure about him as a soccer owner, but he's poured all he has into the red sox (and has produced).

Its probably just an estimated worth, but just because you own something doesn't mean you're worth as much as what you own is "worth". He very welly could have bought the teams partially with money from investors or some shit

because you have a childlike understanding of the concept of valuation

also sports teams aren't relatively worth nearly as much as you would think, very shaky investment

>what is liquid worth vs net worth

>also sports teams aren't relatively worth nearly as much as you would think, very shaky investment

maybe if you own the Jacksonville Jaguars

He owns fucking Liverpool and the Red Sox

those are humongous markets
the red sox blew dick for 3 straight years and it was one of the most profitable teams in the league during that time

Liverpool alone is worth $1.5 bln

According to Forbes, the Red Sox are worth $2.3 billion

not him, but the red sox are currently "worth" like 2.3 billion, but you'd be crazy if you think someone would actually spend that much money buying them with the hopes of making a profit on their investment. Rich guys buy teams as hobby projects, not actual moneymaking investment opportunities. If you wanna get rich in sports you have to get in on the broadcasting level, like the guys who own fox or nbc or whatever

Um, that's what billionaire business men do all the time

>Rich guys buy teams as hobby projects, not actual moneymaking investment opportunities.
lmao you pulled that out of your ass

>If you wanna get rich in sports you have to get in on the broadcasting level, like the guys who own fox or nbc or whatever
Henry has a partnership with Tom Werner, who co-owns NESN which is the main venue to watch Red Sox games. So he's in that business too.

it of course depends on which team, barca and real must be unshakable for the foreseeable future

indians were selling out their shit for years and years and now look at them. attendance figures can be unpredictable, sponsorships aren't always the ones you want. it's a business, by definition it stands on it's own feet and profits, but comparing to other investments on the same scale it's relatively very unstable.

relative peanuts comparing to most industries. petronas makes 50 red sox in a year of revenue alone. banks could buy both those teams from one quarter of profit.

you guys understand nothing please stop talking

ok cool mr billionaire sports owner glad you know so much

>ok cool mr billionaire sports owner glad you know so much

note how most sports teams are owned by either one or a group of individual owners. few are under corporate management simply because they're too unstable.

You're completely missing the point of what OP is asking - if John Henry ostensibly owns two properties, one worth $2.3 billion and the other worth $1.5 billion, why is his net worth only $2.2 billion? The answer to that is he only controls something like 40% of Fenway Sports Group. The fact that a bank could buy it would one quarter of profit is completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

the thing about the bank was in reference to how sports teams are relatively small scale investments and not the uber corporations people seem to think they are sometimes

the direct response to OP was in the previous post

Check southamptons accounts

He owns the Boston Globe, which bleeds money. He also splits earnings with other owners in his sports interests, businesses that cost a lot of money to operate.

The Dodgers were bought for $2 billion like 5 years ago...

just shut up you fucking faggot

Boston owns Liverpool lol
