Top 10 Richest Football Club Owners In The World? by ochuski(m): 11:04pm On Jul 31, 2021
Spending is inextricably tied to success, whether football fans like it or not. The more money a team spends on players and wages, the more likely it is to win trophies. Okay, every now and again there's a miracle story. For example, Leicester's complete squad cost under £54.4 million when they won the Premier League in 2015/16. To put that in perspective, Manchester City paid that much on Kevin De Bruyne in the summer of 2015. But that is precisely why these tales are miraculous. That kind of stuff doesn't happen very often. Instead, the team with the largest budget is more likely to succeed.

The world's most powerful clubs will always have large finances. Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are among the most popular clubs in the world, with enormous cash streams. Other teams, on the other hand, that do not have the same global appeal must rely on their owners to invest extensively in order to compete at the highest level.

Owners have been funding clubs in recent years, allowing them to ascend through the ranks to heights they previously couldn't achieve. But, in the sport of football, who are the wealthiest owners?

Below is a list of the 10 wealthiest football club owners compiled by The Daily Star that is fascinating to read.


10. Robert Kraft ($6 billion) – New England Revolution: Kraft is the CEO of the Kraft Group, a privately held conglomerate with interests in professional sports, manufacturing, and real estate development. He also owns the New England Patriots of the National Football League.


9. Zhang Jindong ($7.6 billion)– Inter Milan: Before his company, the Suning Holdings Group became the majority owner of Inter in 2016, Jindong made his billions from home appliances. Last season, the Chinese businessman oversaw Inter's first Serie A triumph in 11 years.


8. Nasser Al-Khelaifi ($8 billion) – Paris Saint-Germain: Al Khelaifi is the founder and CEO of the media company beIN. His fortune aided in the recruitment of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to the club.

7. Stan Kroenke ($9 billion) – Arsenal: The American also owns the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. He became the main shareholder in the Emirates in 2018, but he hasn't exactly spent his billions there.

6. Philip Anschutz ($10 billion) – Los Angeles Galaxy: Anschutz was a founding member of the Major League Soccer (MLS), and his money has helped bring players like David Beckham and Steven Gerrard to the league. He's dabbled in real estate, energy, and the entertainment sector, among other things.

5. Roman Abramovich ($12 billion) — Chelsea: Abramovich's ownership of Chelsea in 2003 revolutionized Premier League football, and he has led the club to success. He doesn't appear to be interested in cutting back on his spending.

4. Dietmar Hopp ($13 billion) – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim: Hopp has helped his hometown club become a fixture in the Bundesliga. He is Germany's seventh richest man and helped fund a new 30,000-seat stadium.

3. Andrea Agnelli ($14 billion) – Juventus: Agnelli's grandparents and father were also owners of Juventus, having made their fortunes by producing Ferrari automobiles. The club has been in the family since 1947 and has enjoyed a lot of success.

2. Dietrich Mateschitz ($19 billion) – RB Leipzig: The Austrian millionaire is a co-owner of...wait for it...Red Bull. Leipzig, which was founded in 2009, is now challenging European powers and has advanced to the Champions League semi-finals in the 2019/20 season.

1. Sheikh Mansour ($20 billion) – Manchester City: The proprietor of Man City is the richest of them all. The club has won five Premier League crowns as a result of his investment, and they are still searching for their first Champions League victory. He also owns additional clubs through the City network organization, including MLS side New York City and A-league side Melbourne City.
