Owner: Roman Abramovich
Approximate value: 7,800 million

The charismatic Russian owner of Chelsea, nicknamed Chelski after his arrival, is one of the richest men in the world. After coming to the club in 2003, he is perhaps set the benchmark at which the stage of the crazy football spending began in the UK.

Having spent £250million in his first three summers alone, the club have reaped the rewards of his endless worth by turning into a Champion-winning side; not bad considering Abramovich reportedly took over the club by randomly picking out their stadium after a fly over London.
