Ryan Smith didn't own a single pro sports team 5 years ago, but now his sports portfolio has full or partial ownership stakes in assets worth over $5 billion.
• Utah Jazz (NBA): $3.24 billion
• Utah Hockey Club (NHL): $1.2 billion
• Real Salt Lake (MLS): $510 million
• Utah Royals (NWSL): $70 million
Smith is also committing $3 billion to build an entertainment district outside the city's arena.
It's one of the most aggressive strategies we've ever seen in sports.
