Most Filthy Rich Club Owners in World Football
Like it or not, money is the driving force of modern football. And filthy-rich owners are the conductors behind the wheel.
Alisher Usmanov, a Russian businessman worth more than $18 billion, owns a 30 percent share of historic English club Arsenalโthough he doesnโt hold a seat on the clubโs controlling board (via The Guardian). Usmanov isnโt quite a true owner, but he owns enough of a major club, and he is worth enough money, to put him on this list.
Usmanov has said he โdreamsโ of taking full control in North London, and with his money, itโs easy to see how that could happen.
