An initial $150million purchase back in 1989 has produced a franchise worth more than $7.5billion for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
According to an analysis by Sportico, the Dallas Cowboys have once again been named the most valuable sports franchise in America.
The report puts a value of $7.64billion on the Texas football team, putting them above not only every other NFL team - but over all other American sports teams.
Dallas's closest competition is the New York Yankees, valued $630m lower than the Cowboys.
Rounding out the top five in the NFL are the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers.

Sportico's reached its calculations through interviews with more than 30 bankers, lawyers, team executives, owners and consultants.
The publication also relied on public documents involved in the sport.
Overall, the average NFL franchise is worth over $4bn, with 16 of the 32 league franchises surpassing that number.
Comparatively, only four MLB franchises have a valuation above $4bn and only three NBA franchises are also within that range.
