Forbes has estimated the Denver Broncos value to be approximately $3.2 billion as of September 2020. Whoever would want to hold the majority in ownership of the Denver Broncos would have to shell out $1.6 billion to hold a 51 percent stake in ownership.

Which Coloradans would be able to take possession of the majority in ownership of our Denver Broncos? According to KDVR, these Colorado billionaires could spend the $1.6 billion and still have a cool ten figures left in their net worth.

• Phillip Anschutz - Colorado's richest man valued at $10.1 billion
• Charles Ergen valued at $9.6 billion
• John Malone valued at $7.8 billion
• The Coors family is valued at $5.4 billion
• Mark Stevens valued at $3.7 billion
• Pat Stryker valued at $3 billion
• James Leprino valued at $3 billion
• Kenneth Tuchman valued at $2.8 billion

Former Denver Broncos quarterback and Super Bowl 50 winner, Peyton Manning, has expressed interest in some type of ownership. However, Manning is currently valued at a quarter of a billion dollars, so it would not be enough for a majority stake in the Denver Broncos.
