Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, in a recent interview with Bloomberg News, expressed the franchise’s high value, stating he’s received offers near $15 billion. “I don’t think there’s a better asset,” said the 85-year-old Ross, who affirmed he does not wish to sell the team despite the lucrative offers. 🏟️
Ross plans to keep the Dolphins within his family, intending to pass ownership to his son-in-law, Daniel Silliman. However, he has sold portions of the team in recent years, including a 13% stake alongside other assets, like Hard Rock Stadium, valued at approximately $8 billion in 2024. This move primarily aimed to raise funds for new opportunities in Florida. 💰
Believing Florida is on the verge of becoming a new economic hub, Ross highlighted the state’s pro-business tax policies and its potential to attract talent from California. He sees venture capitalists increasingly shifting their focus to South Florida due to rising costs and taxes in California. 🌆
Ross believes that Florida presents one of the best environments for businesses today, contrasting it with California’s current economic climate. As Florida becomes a focal point for investment and innovation, he sees a bright future for both the state and the Dolphins. 🌴
