Roman Abramovich 'spent £40k' to fly favourite takeaway from London via private jet

Russian oligarch and sanctioned Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has a long history of splashing the cash - even when it comes to his takeaway orders if reports are to be believed.

The former Blues chief is rumoured to have once forked out a staggering £40,000 to have sushi delivered to him from London while he was thousands of miles away in Azerbaijan. This occurred while Abramovich was just starting his Chelsea reign back in the early 2000s while he was becoming well-versed in the finest eateries the capital had to offer.

His favourite was clearly the now closed Ubon restaurant based in Canary Wharf which served up traditional Japanese food. The billionaire enjoyed their dishes so much that while residing in Baku, he decided to have it delivered to his door internationally all the way from London.
