Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all feature in the list of the top 50 richest owners of sports clubs and franchises on the planet. With Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital continuing to make the news for largely the wrong reasons, it is a list full of successful and ambitious figures.
The Gunners have taken a major U-turn under Kroenke having reached an all-time low under the American in 2021 following the European Super League protests. That has been sidelined for now with a change of structure at the Emirates Stadium mixed with vast improvement on the pitch resulting in a more positive energy at the club.
The same cannot be said for Joe Lewis at Tottenham. The British investor owns 85% of the Lillywhites through ENIC group with the divisive Daniel Levy also playing a key role. Their stagnation since sacking Mauricio Pochettino and current disconnect is similar to that felt by their fierce rivals two years ago.
