The Los Angeles Lakers are selling for a ridiculous price tag of $10 billion. That crazy amount had fans asking the same question afterwards.
The Lakers are the fifth NBA franchise to sell since 2023. The Phoenix Suns sold for $4 billion in 2023; the Charlotte Hornets sold for $3 billion; the Dallas Mavericks sold for $3.5 billion; the Boston Celtics sold in 2025 for $6.1 billion, and the Lakers just sold for $10 billion.
The prices to own NBA franchises are climbing, which led fans to ask just how much the most valuable franchise of all would sell for: the Dallas Cowboys.
Fans were asking that question and also guessing at their value.
So the Lakers worth 10billion?
That mean the Cowboys gotta be somewhere around 15-20.
Think about it Jerry.
Seriously.

if the Lakers are worth $10bil then the Dallas Cowboys are worth at least $14bil

Cowboys gotta be worth 13 Billion. Yankees probably around 9 billion.
Money is fake and insane

If the Lakers are $10B, I wonder how much the Cowboys would go for

In 1989 Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys for $140 million and everyone in media said that was an insane purchase price. The highest in pro sports history at that point. Based on the Lakers $10 billion valuation, the Cowboys are probably worth $20 billion+ today.

The value of the Cowboys would likely blow the Lakers’ sale price out of the water for numerous reasons. One, the NFL is stronger than the NBA, so the value of their franchises is higher than NBA franchises. The league is more popular and generates more revenue. Two, the Cowboys receive revenues from events held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which adds to their value. The Cowboys also receive revenues from The Star, which is the team’s practice facility.
If the Cowboys were to actually be put up for sale, how much would they go for? Your guess is as good as ours.
