According to Maslow's theory of needs, after people have met their basic physical and safety needs and social needs, they continue to move up to respect and self-actualization, that is, spiritual enjoyment. After the elite of many societies have accumulated enough wealth, they will buy a team to operate and manage it, so that they can meet their personal love for basketball. Just like the Nets' owner Cai Chongxin, as Alibaba's second-in-command, after getting a huge return of wealth, he has acquired the shares of the Nets and become the well-deserved boss of the team; after several years of development, the team's market value has risen to the fourth position in the league, second only to the Knicks, Warriors, and Lakers.
In addition to being able to earn a lot of game box office revenue and receive huge returns in the capital market due to the increase in market capitalization, the team's owners have always been business elites. So, what about the owners of the league's 30 teams, how do they rank in total wealth assets? Who will be the richest boss? Which team is the poorest? Isn't that? Us media Fadeaway World released the asset ranking of 30 team owners, let's take a look at the asset ranking of the 30 team owners in the league.
23rd-30th place: Raptors' Tananbaum (1.5 billion), Warriors' Lacob (1.2 billion), Kings' Lanadev (700 million), Lakers' Jenny Bath (500 million), Suns' Savour (400 million), Celtics' Grossbeck (400 million), Thunder's Bennett (400 million), Spurs' Holt (200 million).
11th-20th: Fertitta of the Rockets (5.6 billion), Devos of the Magic (5.4 billion), Cuban of the Lone Rangers (4.5 billion), Benson of the Pelicans (3.8 billion), Simon of the Pacers (3.4 billion), Taylor of the Timberwolves (2.4 billion), Doran of the Knicks (2 billion), Rasley of the Bucks (1.8 billion), Launesdorf of the Bulls (1.7 billion) and Jordan of the Hornets (1.6 billion). Wizards' Leonsis and Jazz's Smith tied for 20th, also at 1.6 billion.
No. 5-10: The Nuggets' Kroenke (9.1 billion), the Nets' Chua Chongxin (8.4 billion), the Heat's Allison (6.2 billion), the Pistons' Gores (5.9 billion), the 76ers' Harris (5.7 billion) and the Hawks' Resler (5.7 billion).
Fourth place – Pella of the Grizzlies (14.4 billion)
Although the Grizzlies are not a big ball market, the owner Pella's personal value is not cheap, and it is also very powerful to be able to rank fourth. This is a young entrepreneur born in 1977, because he once worked at Apple and achieved financial freedom early, and now he has accumulated tens of billions of wealth by starting his own business, and he is the youngest boss in the NBA.
Third place - Judy Allen of the Trail Blazers (203)
The Blazers' boss was Paul Allen, who was also one of Microsoft's early employees and therefore became famous early. However, after his death from illness, the team and his assets were controlled by his sister Judy Allen; even if the Blazers' record is average, it does not affect the female boss's appearance in the rich list, and her ability to hold on to her wealth is also worthy of respect.
Second place – Gilbert of the Cavaliers (22 billion)
As a rich second generation, Gilbert's parents are one of the largest real estate developers in the United States, so he also inherited his parents' strong business skills. Obsessed with sports, he is the owner of several teams: the owner of the Cleveland Monsters in the AHL Hockey League, the owner of the Cleveland Gladiators in the AFL Football League, and the owner of the Cavaliers. If James hadn't left the Cavaliers, he would have been rewarded with more wealth, at least gilbert was willing to pay that price.
Number one – Ballmer of the Clippers (100 billion)
As the former CEO of Microsoft, Ballmer's value of more than $100 billion is also a matter of course, and it is not a problem to buy shares in the entire 30 teams of the NBA with such deep financial resources. However, if a game has no opponents, it will lose competition, thus hindering the innovation and development of things. With such a large amount of wealth, how many more years will the second place have to work hard to catch up? We don't know. However, the Clippers have won george and Leonard for the third season, still haven't won the championship, and we're looking at next season.
As a billionaire, the top of the list is well-deserved; Cai Chongxin ranked sixth and also fought for the Chinese, so that the younger generations have more confidence and courage; although the Lakers and Warriors we like have a lot of market value, their bosses are not the richest, but they have become the bottom of the list. Looking at the high value of the bosses, as ordinary fans, we should pay more attention to our own growth while liking basketball, so as to strive for a better life.
