5 Richest Club Owners in Premier League

Ownership of a football club is a complex and convoluted matter, and that is also the case in the Premier League. The relationship between owners and fans is often bad, and very few top club fans are delighted with their owners.

Owning a top football club is not easy. Nevertheless, some of the richest people in the world have invested in the sport and quickly realized that the learning curve is steep. The Premier League is arguably the biggest globally, and some wealthy people own English clubs. But these 5 people are the richest in owning a club in the Premier League:

Joe Lewis and Daniel Levy (Tottenham Hotspur) | 6 billion US Dollars

Daniel Levy has often dominated headlines as chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, and this summer was no different.

While Joe Lewis stays away from the media spotlight, Levy is the face of Tottenham Hotspur management. Levy was renowned for her negotiation skills, and her stubbornness was well covered. The Englishman has proven himself not to be underestimated, as Manchester City found out this summer.

Manchester City has made Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane a top transfer target and is willing to shell out a triple-figure transfer fee to get him. However, a move failed to materialize, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola later admitted it was not easy to negotiate with Levy. However, Kane understands his position and recently announced his decision to stay at the club.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and family (Leicester City) | 6 billion US Dollars

Leicester City is one of the best clubs in the Premier League, and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha is adored by the club's fans and players alike.

The Foxes shocked the whole world when they won the Premier League in 2016 and have made many good decisions since then. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's tragic death saw his son Aiyawatt take over, and the Thai businessman barely did anything wrong.

Leicester City now hosts some outstanding young talents such as Caglar Soyuncu, Youri Tielemans and Wesley Fofana. The Foxes have also sold stars such as N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Danny Drinkwater at high prices and continue to invest in young talent.

Stan Kroenke (Arsenal) | 10 billion US Dollars

Arsenal's downfall was sad, and the fans weren't too happy with owner Stan Kroenke.

Kroenke has often been criticized for how Arsenal is run, with limited spending and a lack of interest that irritates the club's fans. However, the American is involved in football and with his company also owning the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Nuggets.

Arsenal spent a fortune this summer amid growing unhappiness among the club's fans. The Gunners performed poorly last season under Mikel Arteta and have been just as bad so far.

Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) | 11.3 billion US Dollars

While Arsenal fans may not be happy with Stan Kroenke, Chelsea fans are excited with Roman Abramovich.

Abramovich has always been a spendthrift since taking over the club in 2003. The Russian is not a talkative figure, but Chelsea has become one of the biggest clubs in the world under his ownership, and Abramovich continues to be a huge influence.

Chelsea seems to thrive in chaos. They don't last very long with certain managers, but their recruitment has improved tremendously in recent years, and their academy is arguably the best in the world.

Sheikh Mansour (Manchester City) | 20 billion US Dollars

Like Chelsea under Roman Abramovich, Manchester City has become one of the best in the world under Sheikh Mansour.

The arrival of Sheikh Mansour has marked the signing of some of the best players globally, and Manchester City has become one of the biggest spenders in world football. However, their spending was not wasted, with Manchester City now arguably one of the best teams in Europe.

Manchester City is growing rapidly under the management of Pep Guardiola. They reached the UEFA Champions League final last season and have consistently won the Premier League title.
