If there is one area in which Florentino Pérez has taken Real Madrid to another level, it is financially. Forbes has once again placed the club among the most valuable sports organizations in the world, valuing it at $6.8 billion. A remarkable figure that positions Real Madrid alongside American sports powerhouses such as the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

This valuation gains even greater significance when viewed in context. The global sports economy is largely dominated by the NFL and the NBA, leagues built on closed systems, guaranteed revenues, and enormous domestic markets. Within that environment, Real Madrid has not only managed to break through, but has also secured its place with apparent ease. The club’s global brand, commercial strength, and ability to generate business go far beyond sporting success or generational cycles.

Just behind Real Madrid in the ranking sits Manchester United, valued at $6.6 billion. Despite enduring a prolonged sporting downturn, the English club remains among the elite, underlining the enduring value of history and a vast fan base. Even so, Real Madrid lead European football in this ranking, further reinforcing their status as the sport’s ultimate reference point.

While American leagues operate within their own financial ecosystem, Real Madrid have learned how to compete at that level without losing their footballing identity. Another clear sign that the club stands as the biggest in the world.
