Stan Kroenke has been named as having the second most valuable sporting empire in the world, with the Arsenal owner's collection of sporting assets totalling $12.75 billion (£10.31bn)
This leaves the Gunners' majority shareholder behind only Formula One owners Liberty Media as having the most valuable empire in the world of sport. Kroenke has often been a divisive figure at Arsenal, but the team's current success has eased such concerns and his wealth is underlined by Forbes who detailed the most valuable empires in sport in a list published this week.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment own a host of assets, with a number of US based sporting franchises in addition to Arsenal as well as marketing companies which take care of his sporting empire. The Missouri-born businessman has a long list of assets which includes Los Angeles Rams, Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Arsenal, The Guard, Colorado Rapids, Colorado Mammoth and Altitude Sports and Entertainment.
