To be honest I believe this valuation process by Forbes is completely wrong. They gave the accreditation on Team, Stadium, Income and Sponsorship Deals. I'd include Own facilities as well since their are usually owned by the teams as well as DEBT. So lets do a breakdown of the facts.
Scuderia Ferrari; Team - Alonso, Massa. (A lot less than most teams) Stadium - Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Fiorano Circuit. Income - £1.7 Billion as of 2010. Sponsorship Deals - Ferrari have several, main 2 Banco Santander (£35M) and Phillip Morris International (Marlboro). The deal with Marlboro was £300M from 1997 til 2012 with the new 2013-15 deal at a £100M! Facilities - Several factors in Italy and stores. Fans - Reported by Ferrari as having the largest fan base in the world with 500 million people.
By my summation Scuderia Ferrari would be around £3-4 Billion in Valuation but due to it's History I'd save probably £10 Billion, Fiat wouldn't see for any less.
Real Madrid; Team - 3rd best football team in the world (According to most) including Mourinho. Stadium - Santiago Bernabéu & Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium. Income - World's Richest Club with NO DEBT! Sponsorship Deals - Bwin (£60M with £18M extension) & Adidas £26M a year. Other Sponsors (Audi, Coca Cola, etc) pay up another £80M as well a year. Facilities - 2 Stadiums, Several Academies Worldwide, Real Madrid City. Fans - Around 450 Million as of 2007. Side note (Biggest Shirt sales each year).
Real Madrid would be around £2.5 Billion on assets. History probably £4 Billion.
Mwuah ha ha ha ha.
Damn. Well at least my Dallas Cowboys are mentioned! lol
