As for the 10 richest athletes in the world by signings and sponsorseven with regard to sports clubs, the ranking is not so obvious and in the first place we will not find a European football club nor one of the symbolic teams of NBA basketball.
In fact, in the first place we find a baseball club, a sport that in Italy and Europe does not have much visibility or media coverage, but overseas, in the USA it is one of the leading sports.
The Atlanta Braves, baseball team of the city of the same name, is in fact the richest sports club in the world in 2022 and this is made possible thanks to the support of the American company Liberty Media, which has 17.2 billion dollars in annual turnover and which it also finances the highest automobile category, the F1.
