Todd Boehly's net worth has continued to rise despite the struggles of Chelsea on and off the pitch in the past 12 months. The American owner has now passed one year in charge of the Blues alongside Clearlake Capital and Hansjorg Wyss.
With over £600m ($745m) of investment on new players as well as two managers being sacked, it's been an uncomfortable ride so far. The group are now heading into their second summer transfer window and it's one that holds huge importance moving forward.
Under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino Chelsea are aiming to return to the top table of English football after their worst finish in the league for 30 years. It will take better use of resources than has been evident so far, but the latest financial figures indicate success for Boehly personally.

Since taking over Chelsea his net worth has jumped massively from £4.90bn ($6.09bn) to £5.19bn ($6.45b), a rise of £290m ($360m) with that going up £436 ($542m) one year on, according to financial index Bloomberg.
Boehly and Clearlake Capital, headed by Jose Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali, purchased Chelsea in May 2022 for over £4.25bn ($5.28bn) in the biggest takeover of a football club in history. It came after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Since then Boehly and Co have struggled to assert themselves as serious contenders in the game but have made ambitious plans to change that quickly heading into their second summer.
Boehly is also the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Eldridge as well as having further sporting stakes in NBA giants LA Lakers, WNBA's LA Sparks and also MLB side LA Dodgers. His success across those other areas has so far meant very little in football, though, with widescale ridiculing.
The 49-year-old is looking to change that perception with an improvement at Stamford Bridge as behind-the-scenes changes start to take place. Having been the public facing arm of the ownership, Boehly took on an active interim sporting director role last summer in order to carry out business whilst full-time recruitment directors were appointed.
This year he will now be able to take a back seat as grand plans are put in place to give Pochettino a platform to try and turn things around. The owners are still expected to keep investing in moves with incomings at SW6 expected with most of the outlay so far yet to bring any true rewards.
