As Fenway Sports Group start 2022, the empire that John Henry built has never been more valuable.
While at the onset of the pandemic the concern for team owners across the world may have been around how their sport would be impacted in the long term, as fans found other things to do away from consuming live action, the reality has been that the growth has continued and that the valuations have continued to rise.
FSG's empire includes Liverpool FC, the Boston Red Sox baseball team, the RFK Racing NASCAR team, real estate, a sports management firm, and a regional sports cable TV network, NESN. At the end of 2021 that portfolio was increased with the acquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL ice hockey team, valued at around $845m (£623m) at the time of purchase.
