The Boston Celtics are being sold for what would be a record-setting initial valuation of $6.1 billion to a group led by Symphony Technology Group managing partner William Chisholm, the sides said Thursday.

Bill Chisholm is purchasing the Boston Celtics from the Grousbeck family for a record $6.1 billion, a new North American record.

The Celtics' price tag was also revealed in the sale. The Celtics are being sold for $6.1 billion, per the Globe, in a record-setting deal. That is now the largest sale for a sports franchise in North America, surpassing the NFL’s Washington Commanders ($6.05 billion in 2023). The Suns also sold for $4 billion in 2023.
