It's safe to say that the Los Angeles Ram's decision to move to LA was a smart, lucrative move. 

On Monday, Forbes released a list of the 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world, and the Rams come in at No. 12 with a value of $3.2 billion, which is up 7% from this time last year when they were valued at $3 billion.

As it stands now, the Rams are the fourth most valuable franchise in the NFL, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys (No. 1, $5 billion), New England Patriots (No. 7, $3.8 billion) and the New York Giants (No. 10, $3.3 billion).

The NFL currently holds 26 of the world’s 50 most valuable franchises in the world, though the top six consists of three soccer clubs and a couple of NBA franchises.

The Rams will move into their new stadium in Inglewood ahead of next season, and their value is only expected to increase when the stadium opens.
