The increase in sports empire valuations has been fueled by escalating prices for sports properties. In March, Stephen Ross sold 1% of his sports portfolio — which includes controlling stakes in the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium and a Formula 1 race as well as a minority stake in the Miami Open tennis tournament — at a record $12.5 billion valuation. CNBC pegs the control valuation for Ross’ share of these assets to be worth $15.23 billion, 59% more than…
