Arsenal news as Stan Kroenke oversees proceedings in north London and Mikel Arteta continues the Gunners' Premier League title charge
Stan Kroenke is the 48th-richest American, according to Forbes. The Arsenal owner, for the first time in a while, is not at the forefront of hot topics involving the Premier League leaders.
The Gunners are on course to lift their first league title in almost 20 years. Smart and cute transfer business mixed with promising performances on the field have helped transform the club after a number of years flirting with mediocrity.
"Arsenal is a fantastic club with a special history and tradition and a wonderful manager in Arsene Wenger. We intend to build on this rich heritage and take the club to new success."
The American billionaire, who also owns NFL franchise the Los Angeles Rams and the Colorado Avalanche of the NFL, has ben criticsed in the past from Arsenal supporters due to the lack of investment to the playing squad.
But now, in 2023, Kroenke's net worth has increased. According to Forbes, Kroenke's net worth has risen considerably in the past month to a whopping €12.9bn - a €2.2bn increase from Forbes' 2022 total.
Should Arsenal win the Premier League and secure their place in the Champions League, the Gunners owner will continue to see his net worth increase over time which, in turn, could supply Arteta with further funds in the coming transfer windows.
For a flavour of what the American - and Arsenal supporters can expect - from European's prestigious stage, Chelsea banked a healthy £42.78 from prize money for group stage wins, qualification, last-16 win and progress to the quarter-final.
