Here's your Forbes Daily Briefing for Tuesday, September 16th.

Today on Forbes, America's richest sports team owners, 2025.

Over the past three years, Henry Samueli has seen his fortune more than quadruple,

from an estimated $6.7 billion in 2022 to $27.7 billion today.

He can thank his Anaheim Ducks for some of that growth.

The NHL franchise, which he bought for $70 million in 2005, has appreciated nearly 1,800

during his tenure as owner to $1.3 billion.

Samueli has gotten a far bigger boost off the ice, however.

The chairman and co-founder of Chipmaker Broadcom, Samueli has reaped the rewards of the

artificial intelligence boom.

His semiconductor company, which produces

essential hardware for the burgeoning industry, saw its share price climb to $279 by the end of August,

from $163 a year earlier, far outperforming competing outfits such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, and AMD.

That rise has sent Samueli shooting up the ranking of America's richest sports team owners to number four, after he landed at number eight last

year, number 12 in 2023, and number 16 in 2022. On the Forbes 400, which was released last week, and which ranks the

wealthiest individuals in the United States, the 70-year-old billionaire came in at number 34 overall.

Samuel E. Samuel E. isn't the only team owner to post big gains in the public markets. The Los

Angeles Clippers Steve Balmer, who tops the American

list for the 11th consecutive year and also came in at number one in the global sports

owner ranking in April, has widened his lead thanks to a 21% year-over-year jump in the

share price at Microsoft, the tech giant where he used to serve as CEO.

Balmer is now worth an estimated $153 billion, $35 billion beyond the second richest American team owner, Walmart Air Rob Walton, who controls the Denver Broncos.
