Every NFL team is worth a LOT of money these days, but what is the net worth of our own Minnesota Vikings right now?

When you're looking at just HOW much money any professional sports team is worth, there are going to be a lot of zeros involved, right? Because whether it's the Minnesota Wild, the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Timberwolves or pretty much any other professional sports team, the value these days is measured in billions of dollars.

And so it is with the Minnesota Vikings. Even though they've started the 2023 NFL season on the wrong note (as of September 25th, they're still looking for their first win of the season) they've still been a pretty decent investment for the Wilf family.

According to Statista, the Wilf family bought the team back in 2005 for the now-bargain price of $600 million. And, suffice it to say, their investment has paid off, as the team is now worth an estimated 3.65 BILLION dollars in 2023! In case you're curious, that's about a 508% increase over the last 18 years the Wilfs have owned the team!

But as impressive as that figure is, it pales in comparison to what other NFL teams are worth these days. In fact, according to Forbes data crunched by the gang over at MightyTips.com, the Vikings rank third from last in net worth of all NFL teams.
