New NFL Deal Makes Lewis Hamilton a Part Of Sporting History With Monumental $4.6 Billion Price Tag

There is no measure of the level of diversity Sir Lewis Hamilton possesses. F1 World Champion, artist, and fashion icon, it seems like there’s nothing Hamilton cannot do.

Although, people thought Hamilton can’t be a businessperson, especially when his Chelsea F.C. bid didn’t go through. But now, the Briton has changed the script on that narrative as well.

Last week, Hamilton announced his involvement in the consortium led by the Walton-Penner group. The focus of this consortium was to purchase the NFL franchise Denver Broncos.

As of today, the Walton-Penner group, along with Lewis Hamilton, owns the Denver Broncos. After hashing out the finer details, we have the numbers behind the deal.

The takeover of the NFL team cost the Walton-Penner group-led consortium a whopping $4.65 Billion.

The fee makes this the most expensive fee paid for a sports franchise. This 4.65 billion dollar price tag is nearly double the previous record that was set in 2020 for the sale of the New York Mets, the baseball team.

Hamilton is now part of this sports organization, which is already a three-time Super Bowl champion. The Mercedes man knows a thing or two about winning a title and, with his involvement in the team, that’s one area Hamilton could help with.

Hamilton shared the news on his social media a week ago with a photo of Roscoe sporting a Bronco’s scarf. The success with the Bronco’s deal means Hamilton is one for two in his attempts to own a sports team.

His first attempt did not come through.

Famously, the Briton’s first attempt was to become an owner of the Premier League club Chelsea FC. Hamilton joined the consortium attempting to buy the for-sale club led by Sir Martin Broughton.

Hamilton’s friend and tennis superstar, Serena Williams, was also a part of the consortium. However, the bid fell short in comparison to the one proposed by Todd Boehly.

Despite the failed attempt, the news confused a lot of fans, as Hamilton is a well-known supporter of Arsenal. A match between Arsenal and Chelsea could’ve become a conflicting affair for Hamilton had he become the owner.

Even though the European footballing world didn’t get to see Hamilton more than a fan, now, the American footballing world will see him as an owner.
