Boston Celtics Sold for Record $6.1 Billion to Bill Chisholm

The Boston Celtics have been sold for a record-breaking $6.1 billion to a group led by Bill Chisholm, marking the highest sale for a North American sports franchise, surpassing the previous record of $6.05 billion set by the Washington Commanders. Tom Brady celebrated this milestone by congratulating Bruce Beal Jr., one of the new minority owners, on Instagram, emphasizing the local ties and significance of the ownership change. Beal, who is also vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, expands his sports investment portfolio with this acquisition. The Celtics, fresh off their 2023 championship win, continue to be a dominant force in the NBA, and fans are optimistic about the new leadership's impact. Brady's support reinforces his deep connection to Boston, a city he helped elevate in the sports hierarchy during his NFL career. The sale is seen as a new chapter for the Celtics, promising continued success for one of the league's most storied franchises.
