But despite the IPL snub, Gautam Adani is likely to become the owner of a richer sports team. He owns the Pro Kabaddi League team Gujarat Giants and is already in the process of buying the Emirates T20 league team. If he succeeds in doing so, he will become the richest sports team owner on the following list of Forbes’ richest sports team owners.
Grupo Adani Liga UAE T20: The league already has the biggest names on the board as team owners. Reliance’s Mukesh Ambani, Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan, GMR’s Kiran Kumar Granthi and the Glazer family that owns the EPL club Manchester United have acquired teams in the much-hyped league.
The sixth member of this six-team league is a certain Rajesh Sharma, owner of the Dubai-based company Capri Global.
The richest sports team owners in the world: Steve Ballmer of the Los Angeles Clippers is currently the richest sports team owner with a net worth of $91.4 billion. But Mukesh Ambani of the Mumbai Indians is not far behind with $90.7 billion. Gautam Adani could be next.
