The Seattle Seahawks have been up for sale for two months, and now some of the biggest names in the tech world are showing interest in buying one of the NFL's most valuable franchises.

Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple's Tim Cook are the two most notable names considering a bid, with a significant financial gap between them.

Zuckerberg has a net worth of more than $206 billion, while Cook's is $2.9 billion, according to Forbes.

No one knows the exact answer yet, but sources are divided on the final number, with some believing the sale could surpass $10 billion, while others think it may land closer to $8 billion.

The Seahawks are valuable due to the rarity of NFL teams and their tendency to increase in value over time.

The sale is happening because of the last wishes of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who said that his sports holdings be sold before he died in 2018.
