430 million is a lot, but they are operating with a payroll of around 300 million for their players alone. There are a lot of other expenses that go into running a team. The Bengals do have other streams of revenue though - advertisements, beer sales, etc.
I'd just really, really love to know how much they are profiting each year.
I think the closest we can come is guessing that it is less than the Packers.

Quote:The Packers’ national revenue climbed 7.5%, from $402.3 million to $432.6 million. Their local revenue rose 13.7%, from $251.8 million to $286.4 million, as they benefited from having a ninth regular-season home game for the first time.
That added up to a 9.9% increase in total revenue, from $654.1 million to $719.1 million.
The Packers reported $635.4 million in expenses, up 7% from their 2024 total of $594 million.
Although the Packers’ profit from operations rose nearly 40% — from $60.1 million to $83.7 million — their net income actually dropped 12.5%. Their net income was $85.6 million, down from $98.1 million.
The reason for the discrepancy was a plunge in their non-operating income, which went from $38 million in 2024 to $1.9 million last year.
I don't know how much the Bengals market compares to the Packers but I am guessing it is quite a bit lower. Forbes had the Packers valued at 5.6 billion in 2024 ranked 13th and the Bengals at 4.1 billion ranked last at 32.
So I don't know, looking at the Packers numbers maybe around 40-50 million for the Bengals???? I don't know enough about all the financial stuff so I'm just throwing that out there as a guess.
