The Buss family’s decision to sell a controlling stake in the Los Angeles Lakers at a franchise valuation of $10 billion marks the end of nearly a half-century when one of the most valuable properties in the entire sports world was run by an eccentric father and his sometimes squabbling children.

The Buss family made a move to sell the franchise to TWG Global for $10 billion, which, in light of their initial $67.5 million purchase in 1979, sees them walk away with a healthy profit.
