The Denver Broncos underwent new ownership in August 2022, many years after Peyton Manning helped the team capitalise on its short NFL odds of winning the Super Bowl.

How Did the Walton Family Become So Rich?

The Walton family did not sell their ownership stake in the company, which has helped them pocket a ton of money, as Walmart generates over $600 billion in annual revenue.
The Waltons benefited from the post-war American consumer boom, suburban expansion, underwhelming retail competition, and favourable tax treatment of capital gains and inheritance.
In addition to owning Walmart, the Waltons have invested in real estate, finance, and philanthropy.
