The development of NBA is getting better and better and the degree of commercialization is getting higher and higher. In the NBA, stars can get a high annual salary from the team every year, and the team can also get more profits from a bigger market. If you can enter the NBA and get a good contract, then players will not be short of money for the rest of their lives. Then maybe everyone will have a question. As the richest man in the world, can Bill Gates buy all the teams at once?

According to the data given by 20 18, the total price of all NBA teams is only $49.5 billion. Although Bill Gates announced his retirement in 2008 and spent $58 billion to set up a foundation, his total assets are still $95.5 billion. If he doesn't give up his shares for the foundation after retirement, his assets will reach $654.38+050 billion.

Therefore, for such a super-rich, he is fully capable of buying all NBA teams. According to the market value ranking of NBA teams, the top ten teams are Knicks $4 billion, Lakers $3.7 billion, Bulls $2.9 billion, Celtics $2.8 billion, Nets $2.3 billion, Mosaic $2.2 billion, Clippers $265.438+0.5 billion, Lone Rangers $3.7 billion and Heat $654.38+0.7 billion.

Although this figure still stays at 20 18, according to the current market value, the average market value of 30 teams is about $654,380.9 billion, an increase of 13% over last year, so the total cost of 30 teams is $57 billion, which is still affordable according to Bill Gates' current price. However, the development of NBA is still very rapid. If this growth momentum can be maintained, Bill Gates is likely to surpass his social status in 10. After retirement, Bill Gates will lose his income, and he may not be able to afford it!

However, Bill Gates will definitely not buy the entire NBA team at one time, and the league will not allow him to do so. Because if all teams are the bosses, they will face something that cannot be traded in the offseason, which will destroy the traditional NBA market. Even in the playoffs, the gold content of various honors will be quite low. They are all bosses, and their competitiveness is naturally not as good as before. Therefore, once the NBA boss becomes a person, the NBA management will actually have a sense of crisis, and the black-box operation between teams will probably be more frequent.

Therefore, even if he can buy all the teams now, he will never do so, which not only violates the balance of the sports industry, but also disrespects basketball to some extent, leading to basketball culture being forgotten by people in a short time.
