Dallas Cowboys Now Most Valuable Sport Team, Check Out Top 50

Image result for dallas cowboysNFL team Dallas Cowboys are now the most valuable sports team in the World according to Forbes annual list of most Valuable sports franchises released this week. This is the first time since Forbes began compiling their annual top 50 lists of the most valuable sports teams in the world, that a non-football team will be topping it's list. Manchester United held the crown of most valuable in 2011 and 2012, and Real Madrid did so the last three years, but on this occasion American football outfit Dallas Cowboys rank first with a value of $4billion (£3.31bn), up 25%.

Real Madrid's fall from top of the list comes despite a value of $3.65bn (£2.76bn) and a 12% increase in value from last year, when they featured at the summit of the list. Real Madrid stocked with a pantheon of stars led by the world's highest-paid athlete Cristiano Ronaldo, tops a group of eight football clubs on the list. NFL franchises make up 27 of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world in 2016's rankings, with Real Madrid down to second, Barcelona in third (having been fourth in 2015), and Man United staying in fifth.

Forbes Welcomes Basketball Legend Michael Jordan on Billionaires' List

In the new Billionaires List Forbes magazine released today, 290 newcomers joined the list, including basketball great, Michael Jordan, 52. He's now the 513th-richest person in the US with a net worth of an even $1.0 billion. Forbes report below;
The most famous rookie on the billionaires list? Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time and indisputably the best-paid athlete of all time. Most of his cash comes from Nike payouts on his iconic brand. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90m. But his most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500m. When ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers for a stunning $2 billion, values of all NBA teams skyrocketed, creating three new billionaires. Jordan’s old boss Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago Bulls, joined the list with a fortune of $1.3 billion, and Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander boosted his net worth to $1.6 billion.

Canadians Ellen Page and Tatiana Maslany makes Forbes 30 Under 30 list



Hello!
Forbes has released its annual 30 Under 30 lists, one of which honours young adults who are “changing Hollywood.” This year, three Canadians landed a spot on the coveted catalogue – television star Tatiana Maslany, actress Ellen Page and Epic Meal Time creator Harley Morenstein.

Tatiana, 29, has earned accolades for playing an astonishing eight different characters (with several different accents) on the Canadian sci-fi series Orphan Black.

Halifax-native Ellen, 27, was selected because she “bravely took a stand” by publicly coming out as a gay woman during a conference last February. Since then, the Oscar-nominated actress has graced countless magazine covers, including W and Flare.

Lastly, Montreal-born Harley, 29, is responsible for “creating one of the most popular online shows," boasting more than 6.6 million followers on his YouTube channel, Epic Meal Time.

Forbes Top Five Overpaid Actors

Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler

Returns $3.20 for every $1 paid.
Sandler's latest movie, Grown Ups 2, was a hit but it didn't do well enough to compensate for the losses from Jack and Jill and That's My Boy.

Johnny Depp

Returns $4.10 for every $1 paid.
When Depp's movies hit, they're huge. The Pirates of the Caribbean films have earned a total $3.7 billion at the global box office. But he's been overpaid for misses like The Lone Ranger and Dark Shadows.
