Behdad Eghbali net worth rockets as Clearlake Capital prepare for Chelsea's next move

Behdad Eghbali's net worth has shot up over the past few years as the Clearlake Capital co-owner prepares to make the next move at Chelsea.

Eghbali, who co-founded Clearlake in 2006, is Todd Boehly's right-hand man at Stamford Bridge after their takeover of the Blues last year. More than £600 million has been spent on transfers by the new owners and Graham Potter was hired to replace Thomas Tuchel in a period of change in West London.

After a rocky start, Potter's Blues have found form and have ignited a challenge to finish in the Premier League's top four. There is every chance of a run to the late stages of the Champions League, too, with a mouth-watering quarter-final against Real Madrid coming up.
