The Broncos are now owned by a consortium led by former Walmart chairman Rob Walton. The price was an incredible $4.65 billion. The new ownership group comprises Walton's daughter Carrie Walton-Penner and son-in-law Greg Penner. Co-CEO of Ariel Investments Mellody Hobson, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton also pitched in. The deal eclipses the $2.4 billion purchase of MLB's New York Mets by hedgefund manager Steve Cohen in 2020. Denver Broncos@BroncosA new era begins.
