Microsoft Stock Would've Outperformed Paul Allen's Seahawks Investment

Paul Allen bought the Seattle Seahawks for $194 million in 1997, and 29 years later the franchise is being sold for $9.612 billion. However, if that same $194 million had been invested in Microsoft stock in 1997, it would reportedly be worth $11.89 billion today—roughly $2.27 billion more than the Seahawks' current sale price, highlighting Microsoft's extraordinary long-term growth.
