ManU has become "the first sports team in the world" with a $3B valuation, according to Mike Ozanian of FORBES. Shares of the English football club, which were offered to the public last August at $14, "did poorly at first but have soared the past few days," closing at just under $17. The recent increase in its stock price has pushed up the club's enterprise value (equity plus debt) to $3.3B, the "highest value of any team in the world."
