Who are the Denver Broncos' owners?

The initial sale of the Broncos from Joe Ellis was to the Walton-Penner group. That was headed up by the son of Walmart founder Rob Walton.

The rest of the group included Walton's daughter, Carrie Walton Penner, her husband, Greg Penner, and co-CEO of Ariel Investments Mellody Hobson, making for one of the most high-profile ownership groups in sports.

Now, Lewis Hamilton becomes the latest addition to the group as the fine details of the purchase are ironed out. The NFL will continue to review and it can take up to 90 days for them to finalize a purchase.

Walton welcomed the newest member of their team in a statement:

"We're delighted to welcome seven-time Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton to our ownership group. He is a champion competitor who knows what it takes to lead a winning team.''
