8. Los Angeles Lakers
Jeanie Buss, who controls the Los Angeles Lakers that is worth $5.9 billion, takes over the team from her father and maintains that legacy keeping them as one of the richest sports teams.
Thanks to the help of strategic decisions and a history of legendary players, under her management the Lakers’ brand continues to grow.

Television rights, high ticket sales to people at Staples Center and brand endorsements with companies like Wish and Bibigo are key revenue streams. The Lakers are currently one of most valuable franchises, with a stunning history and players from the likes of LeBron James.
