BREAKING: Walmart heirs complete $4.25BILLION deal to buy the Denver Broncos after NFL owners approved the sale unanimously, in a world-record deal for a sports franchise

The Denver Broncos have officially sold to a group of Walmart heirs for a record price of $4.65 billion.

That's not just an NFL record, but a sports record, eclipsing Steve Cohen's $2.4 billion purchase of the New York Mets and David Tepper's $2.3 billion acquisition of the Carolina Panthers.

It even exceeds Todd Boehly's $5.12 billion acquisition of Chelsea FC because that figure includes investments in the London soccer club's stadium and donations to charities supported by outgoing owner, Roman Abramovich. In the end, the true sales price was close to $3 billion, according to multiple reports.
