10 Richest Sports Team Owners In America (And How Much They’re Worth)

9. MARIAN ILITCH – $6.5 BILLION

Marian Ilitich, who Forbes named as the second most extravagant independent lady in America, claims the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings. She obtained the Red Wings with her late spouse, Michael, in 1982. They just paid $9 million for it, which isn’t much in contrast with the 7,677% rate of profitability! They at that point bought the Tigers in 1992 for $80 million, and have since seen $1.1 billion in benefit.

Michael and Marian previously observed achievement when they utilized their life reserve funds of $10,000 to open up a pizza café called Little Caesars in 1959. The eatery took off, and ended up one of the most prevalent pizza chains in America. Little Caesars is said to acquire over $3 billion every year.
