The Ricketts Family have added Cobra Beer founder and outgoing CBI president Lord Karan Bilimoria to their ever-growing consortium to takeover Chelsea which also includes Dan Gilbert and Ken Griffin.
On the same day that Stephen Pagliuca broke his silence on his stance and made significant progress with his bid with his statement, the Ricketts, who are back in Chicago at this moment to watch the start of the Cubs' season, have responded with their own developments. Sky News, who broke the Pagliuca news, have reported that the famous beer founder Lord Bilimoria has now added his backing to the Ricketts bid. Their report clarifies that Bilimoria will join the Blues board if they succeed in their bid.
With Griffin and Gilbert adding a whopping £44.6bn net worth to the Ricketts team, how much more could Lord Bilimoria potentially add with his own net worth? In response to this question, football.london takes a look at the individual net worth of the soon to be outgoing CBI president who is eager to get involved in the footballing landscape.
