$10.7 billion. Forbes has estimated the net worth of the man. He and his family own the Rams, which Forbes valued at $4.8 billion in August, as well as the U.K. soccer team, the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche.
The key background.
The Rams left St. Louis in 2016 to return to Los Angeles. For the first time in decades, an NFL team returned to the nation's second-largest city. The team paid the league $550 million to move, and the stadium the Rams now share with the Los Angeles Chargers is estimated to cost $5 billion. The league was accused of breaking its own team relocation policy by county and local officials in St. Louis. The city and county argued that the Rams left Missouri because they were not given the proper help to build a modern stadium in their home territory. The league initially told reporters there was no legitimate basis for the litigation, but attempts to dismiss or move the lawsuit failed, and a trial was set to begin next year.
The settlement in the Rams lawsuit was cut by lawyers. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the man was approved.
